I found this site while looking something up. Thank you for this interview with George Psathas. It's a pure oy hearing his voice, his wisdom, and his knowledge of our history. I was a student of his in the 1980s. He was most encouraging to all of us and our research. Thank you again.

Wow, great to hear Psathas live

Love these interviews. They are a great resource. But why didn't you follow up on the theme of phenomenology? It would have been nice to have had Prof Psathas' take on that connection, given that he is possibly one of the few who actually understand the roots of CA.

@aussiepicnic I'll follow up if I come across a possible candidate, you'd be surprised how many scholars (especially US ones) are steeped in ethno and phenomenology.
