So being a Social Studies teacher I spend a lot of my time thinking, reading and talking about societal issues, with student, colleagues, friends and family. A curiosity and interest in the why and the what of things is what really what drives me on a professional and personal level. I am also lucky enough to be surrounded by bright, interesting people who are willing to share their opinions and engage in lively debate. As a result, for years, I have had the idea of recording podcasts and sharing some of these conversations for no other reason than to illustrate that people do think, care, discuss and often disagree on real issues about education, society and life in general. The problem, however, has always been in finding interesting enough topics and the people willing to share their opinions on them in a recording....
Well, I'd like to introduce you to Erica McLean. Erica is a colleague I met this year through my new position with Learning Innovations. The last few weeks Erica and I have been sharing an office a couple times a week and we have been chatting about the Wet'suwet'en / Coastal Gaslink Pipeline dispute. Erica is from the Gitanmaax reserve that borders the Wet'suwet'en territory so I was keen to her perspective and thoughts on the dispute. What has resulted has been great conversations and sharing with Erica being willing to sit down with me this morning to share some of her thoughts.
This was both of our first attempt at a podcast type audio recording so it is far from polished but we did it in one take without editing so I figure that can't be too bad.
