Best of Trending in Ed - Robots, Science Fiction, and the Anthropological Imagination with Dr. Adam Gamwell

We bring back a popular and prescient episode from 2019 as part of our Best of Trending in Education series where Mike is joined by Design Anthropologist and Podcaster, Dr. Adam Gamwell, to explore how robots, science fiction, and anthropology are interrelated. In a free-flowing and imaginative conversation, we explore how the narratives and secular myths of pop culture and our collective consciousness provide insights into how we understand what it means to be human, how we engage with the Other, and how we grapple to understand how new technologies are driving profound changes to the world around us. Don't miss this look back to the "beforetimes" when we looked ahead at what an AI-powered future might be like. Thanks for listening.
