This week on The Hope Axis, Hollis Robbins joins me to talk about her dense career and what it actually means to build a life dedicated to the humanities today.
Hollis, a dear friend of Interintellect and one of the first hosts, is stepping back from her role as Dean of Humanities at the University of Utah to focus on writing three upcoming books, including one with the incredible title, “Do Not Go to College Unless.”
We get into her journey, and finding room for hope and leisure in the middle of it all. Hope you enjoy!
