Building Learning Around the Future We Want with Susan Santone
Episode description
Ronald Beghetto talks with Susan Santone about two pressing issues that the world is currently facing: environmental issues and social justice, and how those can be remedied through education. Santone shares how she pushes for students to learn more about these issues within the various courses she teaches, including how they can play a role in changing discourses. Santone mentions the necessity of bridging these issues and creating spaces that help people understand their roots, and realize we have more core beliefs in common than we often think. She imagines a future where schools become a true community where mindset shifts are possible, and everyone is involved in creating solutions for these problems.
