Listen "Taking Offence"
Episode Synopsis
This week we ask: Is there value in taking offence? Indeed, should we cultivate a readiness to take offence in ourselves and others? Episode Notes This week we welcome Dr Emily McTernan, co-host of this podcast, into the guest seat. Emily is talking about her new book, On Taking Offence. In it, she argues that taking offence is an important and often valuable response to affronts against our social standing, and that it deserves to be taken more seriously by scholars than it has been (and perhaps less seriously than it might be seen by some sections of society).
