Podcasts For Professors

Whether you love movies or you love love – or whether you are merely intellectually curious – you can now hear from the scholars of the Van Leer Institute of Jerusalem without ever leaving your home.

Van Leer scholars’ range widely and deeply, representing many fields of study. You can hear them talk about their latest books in podcasts on the New Books Network’s psychology channel.

As a host of the channel, I am thrilled by the variety, and creativity of the authors I am privileged to interview. They take me, as they will take you the listener, into their worlds of wisdom. And all at the touch of a download.

This month we visited with David Resnick, who examined the images of education in Hollywood films.  You can find him at this link.

We also shared Naftali Rothenberg’s insights into Rabbi Akiva as a philosopher and sage of love.  Take a listen at this link.

There’s much more to come, so stay tuned and join our journey of scholars and scholarship.
