Uneasy Times: Trailer
Tim van de Meerendonk
Hello and welcome to a brand-new podcast series called Uneasy times, where we explore different crises in history. We will reconstruct the events surrounding these often epoch defining moments and listen in on the stories of people at the receiving end of these disruptive events. What happens to a society when the ground beneath its feet suddenly gives way? When, why and how do events transpire to reach the tipping point of crisis?
And: when everything falls apart, what stories do we tell ourselves to cope? If you are interested in these, and other questions, please listen in!
This podcast project by dr. Tim van de Meerendonk who is a lecturer at Leiden University and it is funded by the Leiden University Fund.
