Christina Van Dyke: A Lesson in Communal Love

Today, we did something new for the show—a quickcast—an in-depth account of some one individual issue that grabs our attention off of the planned episodes. This brings us to our guest, Professor Emerita of Philosophy at Calvin College, Christina Van Dyke. Christina stepped down from your full professor position to protect a vulnerable junior faculty member. We wanted to highlight what it means to live out one's philosophical and moral theories. To let people know that standing up isn't easy but that there are scholars and people out there doing it. Scholars like Christina are actually making a difference, not just talking about making a difference. We are in her debt!!
