Esports and education is the name of this game. In this episode, Dr. Tunisha Singleton opens with a life check-in and talks about being featured in the September 2021 issue of Vanity Fair magazine. This leads into the featured conversation and upbeat chat had with James O’Hagan, Founder of The Academy of Esports, on the importance of sport - in all its forms - in the positive development of young people. Through personal stories and reflection, topics of permission and privilege in extracurricular activities and access to technology for youth in communities of color are also addressed, emphasizing the importance for school systems to drop the faulty, outdated schtick and begin building a more efficient learning experience by integrating digital communities, inclusive activity, and support of play.
