Welcome back and welcome to the start of season four! Join us as Gina and Tom sit down with Dr. Cara McClintock, Professor of English at Northampton Community College. In this episode, Cara shares her vision of the classroom as a two-way street and how she has learned that by embracing this relationship with her students, they each gain a greater understanding of the meaning of their lives and the roles they can play in enacting change that oftentimes is long overdue. Listen in as she explains how her students learn the value of the humanities and how they realize by the end of class, that everything is gender studies.

In this final episode of season three, Gina and Tom sit down with Karen Beck Pooley, Professor of Practice in Lehigh University’s Political Science department, to discuss strategies for treating the local area like a living laboratory to help students see and understand their built environment. Join us as she explains how her students learn to see city planning everywhere and why it’s important to know that no one actor gets to make all the decisions.
