Pulled Up Short
This is a podcast that aims to create moments of being “pulled up short” -- experiences of surprise and curiosity when we encounter an idea, text, or experience that challenges our ways of thinking and deeply held assumptions about the world.Each episode features a different insight, with each one asking us to entertain the possibility of a different worldview and re-examine some of our presuppositions.

Featuring Marina Bers (guest) with Stanton Wortham (host) and David Goodman (commentator)
Coding is usually understood as a neutral tool that we use for practical purposes and to solve technical problems. However, in this episode, Marina Bers offers an alternative vision of coding as an ethical enterprise, which provides an opening to better contemplate our own humanity - our values, relationships, and understanding across differences.
