Episode Synopsis "Episode 2: Pretending through a Pandemic"

Jenny discusses parenting in the era of COVID-19. As any parent of young children knows, quarantine with kids means exhaustion, boredom, and unprecedented uncertainty. This episode discusses the ways that she and her five-year-old daughter Ella are coping, collaboratively. We’ll also hear from Ella herself about what it means to be a kid right now. Lots of pretend and improvisation – sometimes through song. Jenny weaves in connections to community writing projects, writing pedagogy that focuses on the present moment, feminist rhetorical theory, and the idea of creative play.  This episode is dedicated to Ella Goransson Sewell.
