Episode 20 : Kate Tapscott

Welcome to Episode 20 of The Teachback during which I get to hang out and catch up with my former student, Kate Tapscott. One of the really frustrating elements of this podcast is how quickly the time passes! When I consider that a decade has passed between this conversation and the previous one I had with Kate, it breaks my heart a little that we only had a chance to cover a tiny morsel of all the ideas we had put to paper beforehand. Nevertheless, this was assuredly the DEPTH over BREADTH episode and there is always value in those types of conversations. 

 

That "going deep" element has actually been one of the most special things about this podcast experiment: it’s granted me the opportunity to time travel back to simpler times of my own emerging intellectual maturity when I had time and energy to just sit around and talk about ideas, problems, dreams, grievances, with other curious and inspiring friends. I feel buoyed by the positivity of these conversations now, and especially so with Kate, as we focus on feminism. 

 

Trigger Warning:  the following conversation touches briefly upon the topic of abuse in literature.
