Welcome to Episode #8 of Flourishing in the World, a podcast exploring topics related to personal and professional growth, and working toward living a worthy life. I am excited to share this interview with my colleague Dr. Julia Rodriguez, Professor of History at the University of New Hampshire. Dr. Rodriguez specializes in the study of Latin American History and the History of Science and Medicine. She has recently developed a course at UNH called Global History of Childhood and Youth, and in this podcast we discuss change and continuity in our conceptions of childhood.
