The newest episode of the Epistemic Alchemy Podcast, “The Space Between: Relational Cultural Theory and the Art of Connection,” is now live. In this conversation, I speak with Dr. Ileya N. Grosman, a scholar and artist whose work bridges education, leadership, and the arts through the lens of Relational Cultural Theory (RCT). We explore how genuine connection is not the absence of distance but what unfolds within the space between. Dr. Grosman reflects on her experiences in Bangladesh, her research on faculty–student relationships, and the power of relational practices to foster empathy, mutual growth, and flourishing in academic life. Together, we consider how RCT intersects with embodiment, neuroscience, and social justice, offering a more humane vision of leadership and learning. Listen now to discover how connection can become both a method and a mindset.
