3.3 Nicola Classen on Settler Rural Life, Rural Education Systems, and Health and Nutrition Curriculum

Nicola Classen(They/Them) is on our Radicle Narrative team and has been with us for several months, so far they are here to stay! They have helped develop some amazing episodes with us and we are grateful for Nicola’s help and support. They are up and coming educator by trade with a major in Biology and a minor in English. They are currently pursuing an Arts and Science degree with a major in Health Studies as Nicola would like to work towards curricular reform in Saskatchewan. Listen in as they discuss the problems that are apart in settler life, but often not discussed, and also their experience of becoming a new generation teacher having to navigate and deal with problematic hierarchies and white supremacy. We close off this conversation with some amazing discussion on diet and nutrition and how we need have more critical discussion on health, fit culture, and diet culture that is out there in the world.
