Season 2, Episode 29: Abigail Swetz

Dan Sterenchuk and Tommy Estlund are honored to have as our guest, Abigail Swetz. Abigail is in transition. A public school teacher for the past 7 years, she believes teaching is the most powerful job in the world and yet has decided to leave the classroom to try and make change of a different sort. This fall, she will begin her studies at the LaFollette School of Public Affairs with the intent to enter government or nonprofit advocacy work. In the meantime, Abigail is also a poet, a feminist, a believer in the inherent worth and dignity of all, and partner to an amazing human being. And at heart, she will always be a teacher.
