The Crisis that is Humanity: Recent Episodes
Halle Lewis
Come join me and my mother’s conversation on immigration and forced migration. In this podcast we discuss the immigration process, particularly my mother’s experience immigrating from Hong Kong to Canada and then ultimately the U.S., Asian hate crime, the meaning of belonging, and what it means to find a home.
Halle Lewis from Media Studies and Katie Little from Global Resource Systems come together to discuss the era of the human in the digital world.
This podplay follows a client at the Mind Rehabilitation Center in a post-apocalyptic world that runs on technology rather than nature. The client is at a futuristic meditation center hoping to feel a sense of “clarity” and “enlightenment”. The end of the podplay takes a turn, as the end of the experience is very abrupt, and the person is supposed to feel a sense of confusion rather than a sense of ease and peace. The podplay offers a few open-ended questions - is technology enlightening us, or brainwashing us? How can you tell what is and isn’t an illusion when it comes to technology?
