<![CDATA[Coming of Age with Dr Jorge Pereira Campos]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/coming-of-age-with-dr-jorge-pereira-campos Coming of Age is a series of conversations, monologues, and (sometimes) rants about what it means to grow up, as people and as societies, in a world that keeps changing under our feet.

I'm Dr Jorge Pereira Campos. I research how we form a sense of self in the digital age, and I write about it. In each episode, I tackle themes such as justice, technology, memory, or how we raise the next generation.

His answer is honest. He hopes so, and he doesn't expect to see it in his lifetime. What follows is a conversation about the systems he thinks stand in the way, why he keeps working anyway, and why he reads even the present backlash as a strange kind of evidence that progress is real.

McCarthy is a historian of social movements and human rights. The views here are his, and they're worth sitting with whether or not you share them.
