If you are an educator, chances are things are feeling pretty grim. And honestly, the educational landscape IS bleak right now, but don't lose hope - this is the time for us to put our imaginations into overdrive and consider what comes next. In this episode, Dr. Pui-Yan Lam joins me to pull on some of last season's conversational threads about love in education, and what the presence of love in the classroom means. Join us for a deep discussion about love in education, what the absence of love has created, and how love as a common good might change education.
