Learning, for Truth and Love
Learning, for Truth and Love
Podcast Description
The main goal of this podcast is to bridge research and practice. Many are frustrated by student disengagement, classroom challenges, and mental health issues. We must attend to engagement and have real solutions now for the mental health and well-being of our students, educators, and parents. This show provides insights into learning from various perspectives that attend to issues in our society. As a researcher and educator, I use my experiences to provide insights into educating students. This includes but is not limited to specific classroom exemplars, pedagogy, and so on.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast centers around critical themes in education including student engagement, mental health, financial literacy, and cultural representation. Examples of episodes highlight discussions on the importance of Black representation in STEAM curriculum, overcoming generational financial trauma through literacy, and the role of motivated thinking in educational settings, catering specifically to current societal challenges.
Black Representation in the Curriculum explores how representation shapes learning, identity, and opportunity in schools and society. Hosted by Dr. Catherine Quinlan, curriculum design expert and endowed chair professor in science education, the podcast connects research with real-life experiences to look at teaching, culture, equity, and belonging. Through open conversations with families, educators, school leaders, scholars, and other members of society we highlight real stories and lived experiences to help create learning spaces where Black students are seen, supported, and deeply valued.
This episode shares a panel discussion that provides perspectives from Black mothers. In this podcast I share a webinar I gave years ago on September 14, 2020, titled, Cultural Inclusion and Representation in Formal and Informal Settings. This presentation provided a sneak peek into some of the auxiliary products I created to accompany my funded project looking at the lived experiences and narratives of African American Gullah/Geechee in the STEM curricula.
This podcast shares the last part of the webinar after Dr. Dawn Dow’s presentation on “The Deadly Challenges of Raising African American Boys: Black Mothers Navigating the Controlling Image of the ‘Thug.’ ” In this episode you get a glimpse into the questions asked as well as a panel discussion we had as Black mothers. I encourage you to check out Dr. Dawn Dow’s work and her book on Mothering While Black on her website: https://www.dawndow.com/book-mothering-while-black
These conversations among others were important for informing the direction of my work.
AI show notes:
This interview explores the persistent racial biases in education and policing, the impact of curriculum on Black children’s identity, and strategies for fostering positive racial perceptions. Experts discuss implicit bias, curriculum reform, and community-based approaches to support Black youth.
This webinar shares some of my beginning thoughts about this work, which I am sharing out more widely now, as I begin to embark on the next stages of this work.
