    Ep. 21 - Professor Julian Agyeman on Urban Planning, Food Justice, and More

    We are both honored and excited to be kicking off our third season with professor and author Julian Agyeman. We only had time to explore a small portion of Agyeman’s extensive body of work. His contributions (publications, books, and research) span decades and cover a wide range of topics: from urban planning to food justice. Even a brief overview of his career would have required hours to do it justice. We look back at the beginning of his career and how an undergrad in geography and botany has led to decades in the "social sciences  of urban planning." We dive into how "just sustainabilities" has become the platform for much of his work and how his research is based off this concept. We then move onto how we can tie together urban planning, food justice, the role of race, and environmental education into how we look at cities and their planning.  I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and that it inspires you to see U.S. cities through a new lens: one rooted in equity, justice, and possibility. As Professor Agyeman said, let's aim to build these dreams of a better tomorrow with our head in the clouds but feet on the ground.

    Ep. 20 - David Stroh and Systems Thinking for Social Change

    We are excited to present this conversation as both a  New Year's day present and a final episode of season two for the AoA podcast. We chat with author and speaker David Stroh on what systems thinking is, how to apply to global issues, how to use it to reframe our thinking, and then how this reframing could impact life in the classroom - for both students and teachers.

    Ep. 16 - A Conversation Dr. Carter Berry Carey - Nurturing Inclusive Classrooms for Justice and Belonging

    We end 2023 with a wonderful conversation with Dr. Carter Berry discussing her work at her organization, Brownicity and her work as an author. We discuss her recent work, "Teaching for Justice and Belonging: A Journey for Educators and Parents" and how it lays down the steps for the "how-to" of implementing such initiatives in ones classroom. It was amazing to hear how her efforts started in the community and through such grassroots actions to grow into something so needed it today's world of education. I really enjoyed this conversation and found myself feeling revived and renewed as I went back to listen again during the editing phase. I also want to share that we have a new host, Alina Kaye, joining us for this conversation and for many more in the future. Thank you for all of your support in 2023! Have a great end of the year and happy 2024! Links to connect with Dr. Carter Berry and her works: InstagramBrownicityRecent book
