What emerges in the conversation is the role that passion plays in William&#8217;s life, and how he prefers to see himself not as a lecturer but as a facilitator who is able, through dialogue and interaction, to help students foster their passions in life.<\/p>\n<p>William discusses the influence of Sartre and Graham Greene and the impact that 49p Penguin books &#8211; which kickstarted his belief that a book is &#8216;a friend, a teacher and an antagonist&#8217; &#8211; that were sold in a bookshop near his school had a particular influence on him when he was growing up. The difference between his and his children&#8217;s apprehension of music is divulged, and William speaks about the way The Doors, Led Zeppelin and Orbital have the power to transport, and how The Beatles have played a seminal role in family road trips.<\/p>\n<p>Chris\u2019s final question then catapults the interview down an unexpected path on the problem of spheres of life with simplistic and disingenuous binary models.<\/p>\n<p>The podcast is available here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/audioboom.com\/posts\/6896611-william-rowlandson\">https:\/\/audioboom.com\/posts\/6896611-william-rowlandson<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Chris Deacy, Reader in Theology and Religious Studies in the Department of Religious Studies, has just released another instalment of his podcast series on &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/2018\/06\/15\/nostalgia-podcast-with-william-rowlandson\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2458,"featured_media":8855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124,18581],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8854"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2458"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8854"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8856,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8854\/revisions\/8856"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
