How are students processing the election? What do they expect and what do they need, from us - their educators, peers, and supporters? And how divided are we, really, over politics? Are our divisions truly as deep as they might appear judged from social media or from some of the political discourse in the nation? Or are we actually more polarized emotionally, and much less polarized when it comes to issues?Please join host Babette Faehmel, new student co-host Archer Abbott, and their guests, to find out!The guests in this episode are: Zoe Oxley, Professor of Political Science at Union College, Marion Porterfield, Schenectady City Council President, Omar McGill, Schenectady County Legislature, Caroline Buff, Academic Librarian and Information Literacy Expert, and Sean Mullen, Counselor in the Office of Wellness and Support Services at SUNY Schenectady. And most importantly, of course, our student contributors Cassie, Nadine, and Dylan. The views voiced on this episode reflect the lived experiences and uncensored opinions of the guests; they do not necessarily capture the full diversity of attitudes within a larger community, nor do they express an official view of SUNY Schenectady.
