In this episode DBS lecturer and academic Alana Loison tells the story of her learning journey. Along the way we also talk about Schein’s career anchors, lifelong learning, career breaks, neurodivergent communities and the internet, metrics, doctoral research,  Universal Design for Learning, teaching philosophies, adult education, John Dewey, experiential learning, engagement, participation, upskilling, and reimagining higher education post-pandemic.
