Livin' la Viva Voce

Wanna know how to BOOST your happiness? OPTIMIZE YOUR JOY?! Thomas More, England's garden cities, and the good ol' UN are here to help! Synthesized rather nicely in Meg’s talk, of course.

Show Notes

This week, Meg’s talk, “Utopianism: Ideal Cities and World Happiness” explores the intersections between Thomas More’s hit classic, Utopia, optimistic urban planning, and the UN’s weird way of comparing countries like an aging parent does their middling children. This one’s actually pretty well-researched. So if you’re into this podcast for knowledge, this episode is definitely for you!

What is Livin' la Viva Voce?

Livin’ la Viva Voce is a series dedicated to bringing academic scrutiny upon a myriad of topics, using the age old art form, the PhD defence. Join us, Meg & Adam, as we put our skills to the test, and construct PhD vivas in under a week on a topic randomly selected by the other. Oh and did we mention? We’ll be drunk whilst presenting!
