    Episode 14 | Steve Goldberg

    Steve Goldberg has worked as a US History teacher for over two decades. Much of Steve’s career has been focused on helping students connect to history in ways that go beyond the dates and facts found in a textbook. Over the course of his career, Steve has taught at a variety of public, private, and charter schools. He received his bachelor’s degree from Duke University for Public Policy, and he later returned to earn a Master of Arts in Teaching Social Studies. Steve also has a law degree from Georgetown Law School and is a member of the Maryland bar. Nearly two years ago, while teaching history at Research Triangle High School, Steve met Holocaust survivor Abe Piasek, and they immediately became friends. Fascinated by Abe's story, Steve interviewed Abe on numerous occasions about his life, and Steve even helped to coordinate a trip to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, for a dozen students from his high school and Abe's family (including his two great-granddaughters). As it turned out, though, that was Abe's first and only visit to the Holocaust Museum. Abe passed away in January 2020. Since Abe’s passing, Steve has dedicated himself to sharing Abe’s story with a wider audience. Steve has researched Abe’s life extensively. He has put together a series of talks that weaves together Abe’s videotaped testimony with maps and images to help bring Abe’s story to life. His next talk will be a digital event hosted by the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University. He plans to a do a number more in the subsequent months.

    Episode 12 | Maureen Delaney

    Maureen Delaney has spent much of her career as a college counselor working with students to help them prepare for college. Her days are spent strategizing with students, talking about their plans, and guiding them to create compelling personal essays and applications. Over her years as a college counselor, she has listened to countless students speak about their future goals and their vision for themselves as they move from high school to college. Watching teenagers take flight is exciting and inspiring to Maureen because she can listen to each individual share their unique academic or artistic story. On her nights and weekends, though, Maureen paints. She creates beautiful, large canvases filled with abstract shapes, colors and patterns. Her pieces are simultaneously highly organized and playfully chaotic. Largely self-taught, she describes her work as trying to find a balance in all things: in color, in form, and in textures. When asked why she decides to approach her paintings in the way that she does, she said, “Because I don’t really have any choice. Because [the paintings] follow me around in my mind somehow, and I have to listen and get them down on canvas.” For access to more content visit: daviddelaneymayer.com/thereandback © David Mayer Films, L.L.C.
