Cosmological research is exploding and new frontiers at the outermost reaches of our Cosmos are being discovered. Hear the latest with Kala Perkins (MEnvSci, MABioethics, MDiv, BAPsychology); From psychology and creative arts therapies in Los Angeles, to India, studying Ayurvedic medicine; she worked and studied in NY going from neuroscience to peace and conflict education/UN Studies (Columbia Uni).
Returning for another nine years to Asia, - India, Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, China and Mongolia - she worked and travelled, seeking to understand our human nature, social and political systems and world cultures, including several years as a Buddhist monastic. After two years in Mongolia building bridges of science and culture with The Academy of Science at the close of the Cold War, with a passion for astronomy and cosmology she left for ten year in Australia. There she entered the field of astrophysics, with research and teaching, inspiring students, artists and the public with the cosmological perspective and insights.
She completed an Environmental Science Master (Cosmic Ecology, ANU), in conjunct with research and teaching in Australia, focused at the science-arts-psychology nexus. Returning to the US (2006), she taught University (Philosophy and Sociology of Science, Psychology of Religion, Astronomy) and completed two further masters: in Bioethics (LMU), and a Master of Divinity and Interfaith Chaplaincy, focused on issues in health and social justice (GTU, Berkeley).
