The Indy, Ep. 35: Richard Falk on ‘Public Intellectual’

The Indy is the Santa Barbara Independent’s podcast, hosted by Molly McAnany. On this week's episode, we sit down with Richard Falk, a leading international law professor, activist, and author of over 50 books describing his various encounters throughout his career in international relations, including his recently published memoir, Public Intellectual: The Life of a Citizen Pilgrim. After many years of loose ties with Santa Barbara, Richard Falk is now a research fellow with the Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies at UCSB.
