Episode 17 (2024)

Welcome to the 17^th episode of the AJSP Editors Podcast, brought to you by Yu Niiya, editor-in-chief of AJSP!

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Angela Leung, from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, to discuss how we could better understand and promote global consciousness, a key concept that Dr. James Liu advocated as necessary for humanity's future. This podcast nicely complements Dr. Liu’s last paper that will appear in the December issue of AJSP and the special issue on global consciousness in memory of Dr. Liu. Angela suggests several realistic ways we can promote global consciousness in our own research. Enjoy listening and stay tuned!
