Welcome to the 2nd episode of PedPod by EX-PED-LAB. In this episode, I had an exciting conversation with Ana Marjanovic-Shane, an Independent Scholar and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of "Dialogic Pedagogy: An International Online Journal." In talking about pedagogical innovations, she asked me if I knew the etymology of "pedagogy/pedagogue," and posed many interesting points about innovations in education for the youngest children. I have learned a lot from this conversation with her!
Ana had been awarded Fulbright Scholarships to pursue her research interests including dialogue, democracy, and drama in education in different countries. She is currently involved in a research project called “Play internal politics and self-governance among young players.”
