S06E08: Remembering The Teacher: Charles H. Long (Part 1)

In this episode of Doctrine of Discovery, Davíd Carrasco and Raymond Carr remember their teacher, Charles H. Long, through stories, laughter, and archival fragments that still carry his voice. The conversation moves from personal recollections at the AAR to the intimate final weeks of Long’s life, when he asked to see the sun, hear the wind, and reconnect with trusted friends. As they screen footage and reflect on the Long papers, the hosts explore how Long resisted easy categorization in both scholarship and life. They examine marked-up journals, underlined passages, and family decisions about preserving his materials, revealing how reading itself became part of his intellectual method. The episode also honors the labor of care behind this archive, including family members and collaborators who documented and protected these moments. Part tribute and part methodological meditation, this first installment invites listeners into an unfolding legacy of thought, memory, and responsibility while setting the stage for deeper conversations in the episodes ahead.
