Tune in as she interviews faculty, adjuncts, and teaching fellows working in classrooms across the five boroughs of NYC about their pedagogical tips, tricks, and trials.

For our inaugural episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jennifer Ball, professor of Medieval Studies at Brooklyn College and professor and executive officer in the PhD program in Art History at the CUNY Graduate Center. Professor Ball has taught in the CUNY system for over 21 years, and I was excited to hear how her experience teaching undergrads at Brooklyn College has shaped both her pedagogy and her own personal research.
