Episode 43 Bridging sensing and thinking is not often valued in academia. So-called "objectivity" is what is honored. Yet, our gente know something about sensing and thinking that can create a vision of higher education that can bring wholeness and hope.  In this episode, La Profesora talks with Professor Emerita Dra. Laura Rendon about sentipensante pedagogy, the legacy she has crafted in centering marginalized and minoritized students, and the value of being patient with the germination of one's ideas. This is the last episode of Season 5 and the last episode for our Poet-in-Residence and in Resistencia, Cecilia Caballero. Gracias, Cecilia, for sharing your amazing poetry with our comunidad! She offers two poems: "I Feel Such a Kernal Within Myself" and "Grab 'n Go". FYI that we are taking a break to craft our next season. Please share the podcast with your friends and colegas!
