Just Sustainability, Episode 18B: Emily Brier – What it means to be Appalachian and the work of higher-education as therapy.

In the previous episode of Just Sustainability it was my pleasure to introduce you to Emily Brier and to share the first half of the conversation that I recorded with Emily. During that first half, Emily and I spoke mostly about how she thought about inclusive pedagogy and some of the steps that she has taken to make the courses that she teaches more accessible to students.

In addition to being an educational innovator, Emily is also a terrific poet and contributed a great deal to supporting and shaping the growth and development of the field of Appalachian Studies. As we return to my conversation with Emily, we switch to discuss how she approaches those elements of her work.
