The State of Things with Frank Stasio
WUNC (90.7)
Meet Cathy Davidson
As a child, Cathy Davidson pulled on a nun's veil, blew up her friend's basement, and got herself kicked out of elementary school twice and high school four times. This is an unusual start to a successful career as an academic, whose work has ranged from the closing of an American factory to cognitive neuroscience and technology. Davidson is a professor of English at Duke University, and her latest book is called "Now You See It" (Viking Press/ 2011). She joins host Frank Stasio to speak about her omnivorous intellectual appetite.
