Episode Synopsis


Audio recording of a lecture given by tutor Peter Pesic on January 27, 2023 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: "What does it take to understand something, especially something you feel you can’t understand? Is it possible to really understand something (or someone) yet still not agree with them? This lecture tries to make a tiny step toward these questions."
