Teaching Artistry With Courtney J. Boddie

This is Act 2 of “The Artistry of Social Equity,” an inspiring discussion with the delightfully passionate Jean Johnstone, Executive Director of Teaching Artists Guild, is ready for download! This episode confronts the idea that, while one's circumstances have the potential to break their resolve, humans possess an intrinsic goodness to counteract outside negative forces. As they dig into these big thoughts, Courtney and Jean discuss how Teaching Artists navigate these ideas and use them to guide and enhance their work to promote social justice through the arts. They also chat about Jean's core values and her journey from working as a Teaching Artist in Planned Parenthood's Education Program, to working in China, to finally landing in her current position as Teaching Artists Guild (TAG).
