Eternal Discourse was inspired by ongoing discussions and analytical debates between Salma and Ashley, two Brooklynites who can’t stop talking. Both Salma and Ashley have taken courses in psychology, sociology, and criminology, which has furthered their understanding of social phenomena. They also enjoy applying what they have learned to various media and current events. Throughout the past year, they’ve exchanged ideas about historic acts of oppression, human rights violations, and controversial problems happening around the globe. Despite only meeting virtually, they’ve transcended those limits and talked for hours and hours about their topics of interest. The Stanford Prison Experiment came up again and again during these discussions, so it seemed like the perfect topic to feature on their first episode of Eternal Discourse.
