Author and Literary Scholar
Dr. Jonathan Gottschall is a prominent literary scholar and author known for his work on the human obsession with storytelling and narrative, particularly in relation to societal collapse.
From dystopian fiction to reality TV breakups, audiences can't look away from collapse. Dr. Jonathan Gottschall, Dr. Elizabeth Currid-Halkett, and Dr. Neil Postman examine why we're so drawn to watching civilizations — and relationships — fall apart, and whether that fascination helps us cope or just distracts us from fixing what's actually broken.
