This episode is a rebroadcast of Dr. Ruth Streveler’s interview with Dr. Nadia Kellam, who continually pushes the boundaries of “appropriate” research topics and methods.  Learn more about narrative methods, and I-poems, and hear about Nadia’s courage to keep doing what feels right, even in the face of strong opposition by trusted mentors.

“I don’t know where … [the courage to do the risky thing] came from; [I am sure part of] it was a mom that was a feminist and pushed us to do good things and be authentic to yourself. … [With] some of those experiences … I started to learn that it was okay to do what felt right to me and to take that risk.” - Nadia Kellam

This conversation between Dr. Ruth Streveler and Dr. Emily Dringenberg took place during the development of a socially-embedded framework for learning.
