NACHOS S4E17 - The Rough Winds of May

In this episode of NACHOS, we begin with Shakespeare’s line, “Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,” and use it to reflect on growth, tenderness, dignity, and what it means to remain human in a world that often asks us to rush, produce, and perform.We discuss the HUM 101 midterm film Crip Camp and why disability history is also human history. From there, we explore human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence, including the importance of protecting judgment, care, access, and connection in a rapidly changing world.We also spend time thinking about summer as an invitation to reconnect with our humanity through simple, meaningful practices that do not have to cost money: rest, movement, conversation, laughter, time outside, and moments of joy.This episode is a reminder that we are not machines. We are bodies, minds, stories, relationships, and communities. We deserve access, dignity, rest, connection, and joy.Students: remember to comment on this week’s video for participation and prepare for the midterm by watching Crip Camp.Learn more about the Humanities 101 Foundation and the Summer Concert Ticket Giveaway at humanities101.org/giveaway.
