VocalizED: Recent Episodes

Neisha Terry Young

This podcast is a summer series that explores topical issues in education. I am your host, Neisha Terry Young. I am currently a student in the School of Education at Drexel University, where I am pursuing my PhD in Educational Leadership and Policy. This summer the podcast series focuses on the intersection of identity and research interests. I speak with professors, professional staff/activists, and PhD students to explore their various conceptualizations of identity, and how their identity connects with their life's work. I hope that you tune in each week as I explore these concepts within the construct of the academy. Welcome to Vocalized.
