Thinking Space: How the Humanities Shape Our View of the Cosmos

Episode Summary

In this episode, we bring together social scientist Dr Nikita Chu, philosopher Dr Chris Cowie and literary historian Dr Vladimir Brljak to explore how the humanities help us think about space. From historical cosmologies and philosophical questions about alien life to contemporary debates around space exploration, governance, and inclusion, the conversation reveals how ideas about space are shaped as much by culture, history, and values as by science.
