Georgi Gardiner: Constructing Love — How Society Shapes Our Romantic Preferences | Reloscope #70

Reloscope: The Relationship Science Insights Podcast

Ever wondered why you find yourself drawn to certain ‘types’ of partners? This week on Reloscope: The Relationship Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella sits down with Georgi Gardiner, a gender & sexuality studies professor, to investigate the uncanny occurrence.

Specializing in epistemology and meta-philosophy, Georgi Gardiner currently sits on the philosophy faculty at Tulane University. Previously, she held roles on the faculty and as a research fellow at the University of Tennessee and St. John’s College, Oxford University respectively. Fascinated by how people gather and how innovative gatherings can help individuals flourish, Georgi Gardiner also works on the philosophy of attention, sexuality, love, relationships, circus, risk, and the occult.

In this episode, Georgi Gardiner reveals that media, advertising, and language are among some of the main societal and cultural factors that shape our understanding of love, attraction and relationships. She sheds light on collective belief, and how its strength in any given culture may contribute to the mutability of one’s preferences.

Together, Marie and Georgi Gardiner weigh up ways to reflect on society’s influence on our romantic preferences. So, tune in this week for an insightful discussion about the culprits behind love’s blueprint, and discover tools for self-reflection!
