Announcing the Genealogies of Modernity Podcast

For the past three years, our project director, Ryan McDermott, has been working with an amazing group of interdisciplinary scholars to produce a narrative podcast about Genealogies of Modernity. With Ministry of Ideas as a production partner, and a Media Production Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, this podcast takes the form of eight episodes that explore the central concerns of this journal: what does it mean when societies claim to be “modern?” What is at stake when we identify a rupture between ourselves and the past? Is the story of human history one of decline or renewal—or neither?
