Ep. 20 - Can Basketball Save the World? with Professor David Hollander
Manage episode 405914301 series 3556815
In this episode of One Day, Jon interviews Professor David Hollander to talk about basketball (and a few other things). Professor David talks about the many metaphors that can exist between the sport and other super important areas of life like science and history and how the same principles taught in sociology and philosophy can be applied into basketball lessons as well. His upcoming book goes live in February 2023.
The content available in the book tries to show us a new way of thinking and a new way of setting parameters in modern times. According to the author, some basketball rules and guidelines and values (like companionship and cooperation) are just the right tool we need to face global problems like racism and economy setbacks. Tune in to listen to the whole discussion about this and other relevant topics!
