E1 Introduction

We tend to think of ourselves as not just passive creatures at the mercy of the world, but as active as agents who can at least sometimes direct our own lives. This idea, the idea of our agency, is both intriguing and far reaching. To open today's episode, we've asked our guests to give us a brief characterization of how they define human agency. We've also asked them to tell us why thinking about our agency matters and what common misconceptions there are about our agency.
