The Walkup
Mysticism, Memory, and the Making of History (Bronwen McShea) | Ep. 20
4 months ago

Historian, author, and artist Bronwen McShea joins The Walkup for a sweeping conversation on women in the Church, mysticism, biography, and the hidden forces that shape historical memory.

A Yale and Harvard-trained scholar, McShea reflects on her research process, spiritual imagination, and what makes a good story stick. From Fatima to 17th-century France, saints to skeptics, this episode explores faith as both a subject of history and a source of it.
