Listen "Meeting Infinity: Seeing the World Differently"

Episode Synopsis

Sophia Montefiore is Senior High School Coordinator at the Newcastle Waldorf School. As well as teaching across numbers of subjects, Sophia is an artist, published illustrator and more recently a teacher of Projective Geometry, a discipline that blends the rigour of Mathematics with the beauty of Art. In this episode she discusses her work and speaks about the power of this subject to change how we see the world: by expanding our awareness out to Infinity and back, we learn to see the profound connections that underlie our existence. As a Main Lesson in Year 11, Projective Geometry opens the doors of perception for students to see the interconnectedness and beauty of our material, and non-material worlds.
