Rebroadcast • Ethics of the Final Frontier

REBROADCAST: Space: The Final Frontier. This concept has been
integral to America's self-identity, symbolizing exploration and
adventure—and the myriad issues arising from the perception of
"undiscovered country" as land untouched by white man. Professor
Matthew Wilhelm Kapell joins Paul and me to discuss the
significance of the frontier and how Star Trek has interacted with
this theme throughout its many iterations.We encountered some sound
quality issues in this episode for which we apologize. We are
committed to continuous improvement and aim to enhance the
listening experience with each episode.Matthew Wilhelm Kapell
boasts a diverse teaching portfolio, ranging from human genetics to
film studies across institutions in California, Michigan, the UK,
and currently at Pace University in New York City. He is the editor
of an academic book series focusing on the study of digital and
tabletop games. For more information on his publications and work,
visit matthewkapell.com. His academic approach is mindful of the
perspective that many narratives framed as "Hero's Journeys" are
equally "Heroine's Ordeals."
