As a producer of PBS’s The Power of Myth, Joan Konner experienced Joseph Campbell’s teachings from up close and many years later, his influence is still clear on her writing.

In this inciting article, Konner, now Dean Emerita at Columbia College,  talks about Donald Trump and today’s current political climate.

She tries to make sense of it all, using Campbell’s mythical archetypes.
