I Wanna Know What Love Is with Sherrie Steiner - Walk Talk Listen (Episode 205)

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, I’m joined by Dr. Sherrie Steiner, Associate Professor of Sociology at Purdue University Fort Wayne and historian for the G20 Interfaith Forum. Speaking with openness and candor, Sherrie takes us from her childhood in the California desert through the challenges that shaped her resilience, to her work today in environmental sociology, public health, and global policy.

We explore her research on the health impacts of heavy metals, her newly published book documenting religious leaders’ engagement with the G20 system, and her belief that achieving the Sustainable Development Goals demands both political will and inner transformation. Along the way, she reflects on the people, moments, and choices that have shaped her understanding of what love means in action. You can find her latest book at Brill. This is the discount code: DGBSUMMER25 (valid until August 31, 2025).
