Listen "Beyond Strategy: A Conversation with Dra. Estela Bensimon"
Episode Synopsis
Ep. 42 In higher education, we tend to hear that we should be strategic in teaching, service, publications, and grants--pretty much EVERYTHING! What if I told you that one of our veteranas in the field focused more on doing the work she cared about than about strategizing every step in her storied career? La Profesora had the opportunity to talk with University Professor Emerita Dra. Estela Bensimon, about her commitment to racial equity, the challenges of sustaining the Center for Urban Education for 20 years, and how much of her navigation of the grant funding world was rooted in relationship. Dra. Bensimon offers critical advice that moves beyond strategy. **************************************** Show Notes: Espino, M.M., Vega, I., Rendón, L.I., Ranero, J., & Muñiz, M.M. (2012).
