Antero Garcia (Stanford University) talks about his work in the area of media education and civics.
We start by talking about the future of civics education in US schooling. We also explore the roles that games and gaming can play in reimagining (and disrupting) what goes on in the classroom. From Trump to Twitch to Paulo Freire in 15 minutes!

Students choosing to study overseas has long been an important part of higher education, but is becoming increasingly politically contentious.

Getting published in academic journals can be a major source of stress for education researchers.
We hear regular reports of a ‘crisis’ in teacher recruitment and what has been characterised as an exodus of educators leaving the profession.
