Feminism is Optimism

the uplift

Joy. Activism. Feminism. Optimism. Throw in a love of teaching, and I bring you: Elise Robinson!

I feel like I've known Elise forever and goodness knows I've admired her for just as long. Currently earning her PhD at the University of Georgia in Theatre & Performance Studies, Elise is the kind of professor we all love and remember: passionate, enthusiastic, and pushing her students to always be better versions of themselves. 

In this episode Elise shows us how we can  prepare students to be active and engaged citizens by preparing them for daily actions grounded in "perspectacles": small actions that are relevant to their daily lives. Elise shares particular student stories as well as ideas for how to incorporate easy assignments and activities that keep students focused on, and learning about, how to use their voices for democracy. 

Let's connect! Come find me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook.

I also coach women leaders (individually and in groups) and facilitate campus workshops. Learn more at the website.

Have a question about whether I can help you? Just ask! I actually love getting emails from listeners. 🧡
