Reclaim the body
17 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 3 years ago -Reclaim the Body, that is the message, the purpose and the inspiration I hope this podcast will bring to people. We have become too disconnected from our bodies. And both within society and science, we seem to forget the importance of our bodies in regards to identity. As an embodiment sociologist, I investigate/research, dissect and reevaluate, what meaning the body caries in our modern society. My sociological knowledge will put an angle on the topics of this podcast, that you may not have considered before. Hopefully I, along with my awesome guests, will manage to challenge some of all the prejudice, still lingering out there today.
