It was so fun to chat with Kelsey Merkley (@bella_velo) during our second In Vino Fabulum (#InVinoFab) interview -- women telling their stories. There was a wealth of stuff we chatted about and we hope you enjoy listening to the conversation. Kelsey thinks we need find ways to have more dialogue with those who aren’t always at the table/classroom/conference to be cognizant include a voice that is not always heard, specifically to ensure we have access of knowledge and the opportunity-cost that we miss out on by not learning from an audience that is more representative of all nations. How can we learn to solve issues in education from others? How can we offer space for other voices and remove the barriers for learning?

Glassware for wine is really all about function and even taste. Is your wine temperature controlled? Do you plan on tasting it after giving it a swirl? Where is your wine drinking happening? Home, bar, vineyard or cottage? Let’s talk shop about the glass that houses your favorite vino.

We are delighted to welcome our first guest, Dr. Ali Black (@draliblack), to the #InVinoFab [In Wine, Story] podcast! As our first audio visitor to the pod, we are excited to share more about Ali’s stories, her work, and discuss being vulnerable in higher education. Ali describes this process of making sense of our lived experiences as a ‘soulful’ experience that has brought joy to her academic life. She highlights the value of ethic of care, gentle writing, and the importance of deep, thoughtful writing work with The Women Who Write. These “wise women” felt empowered to do more, and can be found promoting how to savor slow scholarship, find support, become more self-aware, and stop living “thin lives” in academia.

Part of this new #InVinoFab podcast, will dig into a particular issue related to the topic of women, education, or wine. This new series will engage and introduce you to new voices of women in education; however, these shorter episodes will introduce you to wine concepts. This is a sort of a “wine bible study” to help us learn more about the world of vino. We hope these shorter podcast episodes will introduce us (and you!) to random tips, interesting facts, and perhaps little known facts about wine. Here’s the book that got us interested in learning more about the wine we sip.

Happy International Women’s Day! (#IWD2018)

Welcome to the In Vino Fabulum (#InVinoFab) Podcast -- this means, In Wine, Story!

@LauraPasquini & @ProfPatrice are creating this NEW podcast called to hold a space for conversation, learning, ideas, issues, and more over a glass of wine. We hope to share the stories, work, and passions of women+ and a bit of wine knowledge along the way.
