Episode 4, Part One: Of Absolute Categories and Civilizations

Welcome to “Getting Comfortable,” a University of Colorado Colorado Springs student-led podcast dedicated to unpacking the relationship between Islam and the West, where no one is an expert. The intention of the podcast is to lead with curiosity and have a conversation that identifies concepts, analyzes content, and centers different learning approaches pertaining to the relationship between Islam and the West. Special thanks to Dakota Tyukin for creating the intro and outro music, and to Kerry Corbett for the cover art.
