When I read Seeta Sistla’s confrontation to the environmental costs of curiosity - a list that is as thought-provoking as it is long - I sent myself on an internal journey of challenged assumptions and weighted values. This was, I imagine, exactly the effect she was hoping for. The third episode in our Curiosity Studies series.
This is the third in a monthly series of interviews with the contributing authors to the forthcoming anthology Curiosity Studies: A New Ecology of Knowledge. Stay tuned for the whole series!
