Pushing The Edge With Greg Curran

When we explore identity with our students, we often focus on single dimensions like race or ethnicity. But if we consider race, how does your gender, belief systems, or socio-economic status impact on your experiences and opportunities in life? The intersections of identity, that's the focus of this episode. And in the Lightning Round, we're Pushing The Edges of conversations about gender and race, privilege, social justice, democracy, and co-existence. Our guest is Bill Ivey. Bill is a middle-school Dean at Stoneleigh Burnham Girls' School in Western Massachussetts, USA. Bill's passionate about teaching for social justice, and the concept of intersectionality is central to much of his teaching in this area.
