Who Do You Think You Are?

Who Do You Think You Are? is hosted by Nino Ricci, the Alice Munro Chair in Creativity at 深夜福利站. Each episode, the multiple award-winning Canadian novelist talks to a faculty member from the 深夜福利站 community who makes a difference in their field by challenging old assumptions or forging new models for how we make sense of the world. These are people who show us that creativity lies at the heart of innovation in any field. They also show us how creative solutions often come from building bridges across the disciplines and break down the barriers that often blind us to new approaches.
