LL005 Cultural Curiosity

People of the global majority have to work twice as hard to be twice as good. Kisa shares how she can face people questioning her expertise and --to no surprise—Mike shares that he hasn’t been questioned in the same way even when someone disagrees with him. Kisa and Mike dig deep into cultural curiosity, expertise, and what it feels like to navigate learning spaces where your humanity is always up for debate.

Tune in—and when you’re done, talk about it with your people.

 

*Mike references Playing with Nature: Supporting Preschoolers’ Creativity in Natural Outdoor Classrooms by Christine Kiewra and Ellen Veselack
