“Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Waywords produces a web of programs and media designed to improve our thinking in democratic action, in critical literacy, in global understanding. We provoke, inspire, and wrestle with the ambiguities and richness of human thinking, from times modern to ancient.

While offering serious educational support for those who want it, Waywords entertains and engages with surprising takes on a wide range of global topics, from Western social trends to modern mythological thinking.

Criticism & Reviews

The Waywords podcasts and blog explore the workings of global literatures, language, and mythology through a social-epistemic rhetoric. Book reviews explore a wide range of genre, era, and region.

“The Vegetarian” by Han Kang

Kang’s inapt title disguises a far more sinister and surreal work on the encroachment of male and social expectations for the female body. Readers might ask: what exactly is it that distresses in this novel?
