I try to keep it pretty light. More philosophy nerd than academic, it sprung out of free time during the pandemic. @KMaca5 Teaching Otherwise Teaching Otherwise is a podcast exploring teaching in psychology. We draw on philosophy, history, and the human sciences broadly to critique and explore alternatives to the assumptions and practices undergirding mainstream psychology teaching.
