Today on the Emerald, we dive a little further into the topic of wonder. Not wonder as just a fleeting feeling, but rather wonder as a state of consciousness deliberately architected through creative ritual. Wonder that is pursued systematically, stoked, as our interviewee says, in order to break open our day-to-day experience and get us to something deeper. In this way, wonder becomes a form of resistance to the current state of the world.
Join us as Josh interviews professor and author Tulasi Srinivas about her book The Cow in The Elevator: An Anthropology of Wonder. Tulasi Srinavas is a Professor of Anthropology, Religion, and Transnational Studies at Emerson College. She is currently a Luce ACLS fellow in Religion and International Affairs and a World Economic Forum expert in the study of religion.
