Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, September 18th,

2023 and I'm the host of the show Kara Santa Maria and as I mentioned

previously I am off traveling right now so I am

time traveling a bit and pre-recording this intro for the episode. I wanted to make

sure that all of the listeners had plenty of content in my absence.

So let's dive right into this week's show.

It's a fascinating one for you.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Jennifer Banks.

Now, she is a senior executive editor

at Yale University Press, and she writes herself

and actually draws upon that expertise that she's

gathered editing so many brilliant books and really developing a lot of deep

insights especially into kind of moral philosophy. So she has this fascinating new book.

It's called Natality, toward a philosophy of birth.

And she really digs deep into Natality,

sort of the counterpart to the counterpoint to mortality, right, birth and death.

And she draws on insights of brilliant writers, thinkers, philosophers throughout sort of our history.

And yeah, we're going to dig deep into this concept.

It's really interesting, it's really fascinating.

So without further ado, here she is Jennifer Banks.

Well, Jennifer, thank you so much for joining me today.

Thanks so much for having me.
