I enjoyed this conversation.

Professor Sam North is a teacher and writer.

In his words, he’s “developing a cross-disciplinary bite of education that has three components: religious stories as networks of growth and cooperation (Theology and Religion), mycelial (fungal) networks as prosecutors of growth and cooperation (Biology) and social networks as the new 'hearth' of identity and storytelling, fostering both cooperation and division. I'm particularly interested in the corruption of all of the above”.

Curious, I was.

And that was before he shared the course sub title: God. Stories. Facebook. Mushrooms.

I’m in.

To dip your toe into the unlikely connection between these curious strands, do check out the conversation. I hope you enjoy.
