What happens when the classroom simply isn't built for how your brain is wired, in more ways than one? In this episode, Savanna Goldstein introduces us to the complexity of the brain in multiple dimensions. Through her research at Gallaudet University, the world's only university built by and for Deaf people, Savanna shares the power of reframing perceived ”deficits” into unique and valuable perspectives on the world. Armed with both vast knowledge and deep compassion, she aims to translate the often inaccessible world of academia into tangible benefits for her community.
