Episode 33 – Idioms of Normality hosted by Dr. Paul H. Mason

Decoupling Normality
In this episode, Paul speaks with Dr Humberto Bettini who teaches economics in the Department of Engineering and Production at the University of São Paulo. Humberto lucidly describes how the concept of normal has become confused and unhelpful. Bringing his personal and professional experiences to bear upon the question, Humberto advocates for the concept of normality to be decoupled from sibling concepts such as normativity, conformity, and superiority.
