3.07 Connecting During Social Distance

Galeano had dreams of becoming an educator as a child— literally dreams.  She would explain the etymology of the English language and teach Shakespeare, before she'd even read his work. After graduating from college, she taught Beowulf and Macbeth to adult education students working on their high school diplomas. They were grandmas who wanted to proudly tell their grandchildren that they too had completed their high school education. Teens who needed to work during the day to support their families. Girls who were pregnant and waiting to give birth. She found that the content of the classes got in the way of her knowing these hardworking folks. So she gave up Macbeth and started focusing on the conversations. Eagerly, she learned more about her students, heard their stories, taught less, and listened more.Galeano joined us to share stories of life in Coronavirus and how people are connecting in this time of social distance.Promo: Voices of Misery Twitter: @VoicesofMiseryYou can follow Galeano on FB: https://www.facebook.com/BoulderSexTherapyOr find her on her website: https://bouldersextherapy.com/about/ ★ Support this podcast ★ Hosted on Acast.
