Experiential Learning with Dr. Audrey Townsend
On this episode, Sarah and Caitlyn speak with Dr. Audrey Townsend, Director of Experiential Learning at the University of Denver. We talk about why experiential learning is important, how to choose between a PhD and an EdD, and how DU pushes its students to curate a meaningful education.
About our guest: Audrey Townsend, PhD (she/her) serves as the Director of Experiential Learning within the 4D Experience Team at the University of Denver. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from Colorado State University and both her Master’s and Doctoral degrees from the University of Denver. Her doctoral dissertation, Examining Whiteness: A Narrative Inquiry into Racial Identity Among White Women in Study Abroad Programs, explored how undergraduate students make meaning of their identities after participating in international education experiences. Audrey’s passion for internationalization and study abroad is deeply rooted in her own time studying in Heredia, Costa Rica, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. In addition to her role on the 4D Experience Team, she serves as an adjunct instructor in the Office of Internationalization, where she teaches both pre- and post-study abroad courses.
Outside of the university, Audrey enjoys spending time with her two young children and her husband. She is also a cycling instructor at two Denver-area gyms. In her free time, she can often be found reading or listening to podcasts.
