DJ gives us a few things to think about as we make our way through Great Gatsby. If you have yet to listen to DJ's conversation on Epistemic and Axiological Questions in Modern American Literature, be sure to go back and listen there first.

DJ Goodwiler joins us on this week's episode to help us define what makes a great book and how some modern American literature can help us make sense of the world around us and our own interactions within it.

Doug Jones joins us to delve into the transformative influence of great books on shaping our identity through the way we teach and learn.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Melissa Gingrich as our guest, who will shed light on the fascinating field of neuroscience and its relevance to the developing brain.

Jacob Mohler, the Chair of Math at the Cambridge School, joins us to talk about math as a liberal art--both how it is and is not a liberal art and why the distinction is important. Jacob's vigilant inspection of the process of math instruction and his intentional approach create a unique learning environment for his students. We hope that you enjoy the episode.

Carolyn McClaskey joins us to talk about how her perspective has changed now that she is a teacher's aide. Having been a Cambridge parent, Carolyn has a unique perspective on the Cambridge education now that she has had a look behind the curtain.
