About
What is beauty? How does it work? And why does it matter for the work that we do?
I'm Brandon Vaidyanathan, and I'm a professor of sociology at The Catholic University of America in Washington DC.
We tend to reduce beauty to cosmetics or fashion. Or restrict it to high art. But there's much more to beauty than that. Beauty is how reality attracts us. And whether we like it or not, beauty shapes our lives in countless ways.
In this channel, I want to expand our understanding of beauty.
Through interviews with experts from diverse fields, this channel examines how beauty works -- how it shapes our personal, social, and spiritual lives in ways that may both contribute to and impede our flourishing.
What we learn here will help us to better harness the potential for beauty to contribute to our flourishing, while avoiding its perils and pitfalls.
