Susi Keefe on Educating for Democracy.

A medical anthropologist by training, Susi Keefe approaches her teaching, like her research, by focusing on people and their stories. In this episode of The Uplift Susi tackles the “bodacious question” of whether teaching public health can model democratic citizenship. She shares stories about her students claiming their identities while learning to advocate for community public health…and discovering themselves as leaders along the way. Susi also discusses teaching evals — and if you stick around, you can catch her rowdy dog Tater making his first podcast appearance.
