The Cultural Blind Spot

health, fitness, religion, spirituality · EN

The Cultural Blind Spot is a storytelling podcast exploring the intersection of religion, spirituality, culture, and healthcare. Each episode centers student narratives, moments where personal beliefs, cultural values, and lived experiences shaped the way healthcare was given, received, or understood. These are the conversations that so often go unspoken, yet define the way patients experience care. Through thoughtful dialogue and reflection, this podcast invites listeners to examine the cultural blind spots that exist within medicine, and within ourselves. It is not about having all the answers. It is about curiosity and listening. It is about recognizing that healthcare is never one-size-fits-all. This podcast is supported by the UConn Co-op Legacy Fellowship Change Grant, an initiative that supports projects representing the legacy of the UConn Co-op's commitment to public engagement, innovation, and social impact.
