Listen "The Sociology Behind Loneliness"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Specimen the Sociologist, your host Jessamyn Reichmann (that’s “Specimen” with a J!) explores the quiet epidemic of loneliness—not just as an emotion, but as a social and structural issue. From Emile Durkheim’s Anomie Theory to her own personal stories, Jessamyn breaks down how our modern world reshapes connection—and what we can do about it.With warmth, curiosity, and a little cheek, this episode reminds us that loneliness isn’t just about being alone—it’s about feeling unseen. And sometimes, the most powerful way to push back isn’t through grand gestures, but through small, sincere moments. Because every social interaction is a seed—and when planted with intention, it can grow into the kind of connection that changes everything.Business spotlight: Bonhomie Coffee (IG: bonhomiecoffeebar)Want to sow into the vision of this podcast?
