When we read a text looking for what is familiar (feels safe) to us, we run the risk of missing that which can expand our worldviews. How can we approach the unfamiliar in our reading practice? What can we reveal by venturing into the overlooked, underexplored, and, admittedly, sometimes intimidating aspects of books we read? Today’s short video explores these questions in the context of a book, “Autochthonomies”, by Myriam J. A. Chancy, Professor of the Humanities at Scripps College. Enjoy!

Keeping up the “Spreading the Word” tradition, I hope to share an insightful and mind-broadening article, podcast episode or video every weekend. Humans have always turned and returned to storytelling to find meaning. My end-of-week “Spreading the Word” posts are an online sharing of meaningful stories.
keep exploring and storytelling!
