For those of us who have been shut out of higher education in the past, the path back to being a successful student is full of obstacles. The right support can make this a little easier, though.  In this episode, we explore this question with Russell Thornhill and Kathryn Pope, the Co-Directors of the BRIDGE program on Antioch’s Los Angeles campus—a financially free program that has helped over 700 students gain experience and credit studying at the college level. We try to answer how best to support each other as we advance in knowledge and power.— Visit bridge.antioch.edu to learn more about the BRIDGE Program, and you can use that website to apply as a student or to make a donation.This conversation pairs well with our last episode, an interview with Ingrid Ingerson about the Clemente Course and educational trauma.To learn more about the life and work of Russell Thornhill, read our recent article on Common Thread, “Within Academia and Spirituality, Russell Thornhill Leads Towards Liberation.”This episode was recorded October 19, 2023 via Riverside.fm and released November 1, 2023. The Seed Field Podcast is produced by Antioch UniversityHost: Jasper NighthawkEditor: Johanna CaseDigital Design: Mira MeadWeb Content Coordination: Jen MontWork-Study Interns: Carrie Hawthorn, Stefanie Paredes, and Georgia Bermingham.  A special thanks to Karen Hamilton, Amelia Bryan, and Melinda GarlandTo access a full transcript and find more information about this and other episodes, visit theseedfield.org.
