Welcome to a special “Liberal Conversations Series” of the Dissidents Podcast.
In this series we invite guests who have resources, ideas, and viewpoints that will challenge us to reflect on liberal values, what they are, how they are applied, their impact on us as individuals, and why they matter for the larger communities in which we live.
In this episode, Brandy Shufutinsky and Elizabeth Spievak discuss intercultural and academic opportunities that can enhance liberal democratic ideals. Brandy gives us an overview of her upcoming course and its usefulness for teachers, parents, and laypeople. The course and our discussion of current challenges in education, from the broad and sociopolitical to the personal and specific, are framed in the context of liberal values.
