What is beauty? How does it work? And how does it matter for the work that we do?
I'm Brandon Vaidyanathan, and I'm a sociology professor at The Catholic University of America in Washington DC.
For many years now, I’ve been wondering about the role of beauty in human experience. And I don't just mean art or fashion. I'm looking into our encounters with beauty more broadly: what does beauty mean in relation to science, justice, morality, food, religion, work, and other aspects of our lives?
Through interviews with experts from diverse fields, this channel examines how beauty works -- how it shapes our personal and social lives in ways that may both contribute to and impede our flourishing.
What we learn here will help us to better harness the potential for beauty to contribute to our flourishing, while avoiding its perils and pitfalls.
