TheJewishChannelTJC | TJC Up Close Interviews: M.R. O'Connor and Sherry Turkle @TheJewishChannelTJC | Uploaded November 2015 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
newsdesk.tjctv.com/2015/11/up-close-m-r-oconnor-and-sherry-turkle On this week's episode of "Up Close," we look at those studying how to preserve species, and one psychologist's call for preserving human communication.
When we talk about preserving species, what exactly are preserving? If it's genes and physical characteristics alone, there's an animal culture of sorts that we're surely leaving behind. M.R. O'Connor explores these thorny questions in "Resurrection Science: Conservation, De-Extinction and the Precarious Future of Wild Things."
And then, if we can lose a given species of crow by changing its inherited culture, can we also lose the culture that makes us human? That warning sign is being presented by MIT Professor Sherry Turkle in "Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age."
