HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with an expert in the field of social movements and education. Can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences and insights related to this course topic?

This course is designed to help people understand that intersection and become agents of change in their own communities. HOST: That's fascinating. Can you share any current industry trends relevant to the course? GUEST: Sure, one trend that stands out is the increasing recognition of the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in education. This course covers those topics in depth, and provides strategies for promoting social justice through education. HOST: I see. And what are some of the challenges faced in the field or while learning/teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the lack of understanding about the role of education in social movements. Many people don't realize that education can be a powerful tool for social change, and this course aims to bridge that gap. HOST: That's a great point. Finally, what are your thoughts on the future of this area or industry? GUEST: I believe that education will continue to play a critical role in social movements and social justice. As we become more aware of the systemic issues that perpetuate inequality, there is a growing demand for educators and activists who can drive positive change.
