15: Dr. Steven Alexander

Dr. Steven Alexander - University of Waterloo - Environmental Change and Governance Group
Steven tells me about his journey as an educator, and then his introduction to research. We talk a bit about decision making and having multiple threads of importance in your life. Academics can get caught up in only thinking that one thing, career progress, is important - often leaving other very important things behind.

14: Dr. Georgia Hart-Fredeluces

Dr. Georgia Hart-Fredeluces - Idaho State University - Dept. of Sociology
Georgia tells me about her journey into, out of, and back into academia - and how this path is never really that clear. She tells me about how she has trusted herself to know when something is not quite right, and how she made brave changes in her life in those cases.

13: Dr. Rob Quinlan

Dr. Rob Quinlan - Washington State University - Dept. of Anthropology
Rob and I talk about academic culture, and what might be wrong with some of it. He discusses patterns of time management in both academics and hunter gatherer societies - and how much time the later spends being 'idle.'
