The Psychology of Places of Connection - Colin Ellard, PhD [Part 1]

Environmental psychologist and author Colin Ellard joins Erin in this first of two episodes to explore how our ancient social instincts shape what we need from the places we gather — and how COVID-19 revealed just how much those needs had been designed away.
