As Season 7 comes to close, Val and Andrew reflect on 17 episodes and share our most valuable takeaways and thoughts from this season, then we get into some juicy listener questions, as well as some announcements! Spoiler alert! Val has agreed to return for Season 8!!

As we reflect on the season, we have to take a moment to say thank you to a bunch of people who have made this season possible. First of all, all of our guests, who have shared their research, their stories, and their personal reflections. We are humbled to be in conversation with you all:

• Sarah and Anna
• Stefan Lallinger
• Tomàs Monarrez
• Sarah Soonling-Blackburn
• Zoe and Kara
• Chrissy Colón Bradt
• Heather McGhee
• Susan Faircloth
• Brittany Brazzel
• Carol Anderson
• Chantal Hailey
• Tricia and Daniella
• James Haslam

Additionally, the podcast staff collective at Integrated Schools, for brainstorming guests and stories, for working on transcript, and promotional graphics, and social media posts, and, most importantly, for being great thought partners in this important work:

• Darci Craghead
• Courtney Epton
• Anna Lodder
• Emily Moores
• Jennifer Patton
• Alex Stevens
• Ali Takata

Stay tuned this summer – we have a couple of bonus episodes planned, and we are re-releasing the Between We and They series from 2019 with some new reflections. We’ll also be hard at work recording conversations for next season. If you’d like to support this work, we’d be grateful if you went to our Patreon and became a supporter.
