Podcast #51: Writing in the Community with Stephanie Bower and John Murray




The Teach Better Podcast show

Summary: Stephanie Bower and John Murray teach writing at the University of Southern California, and have been co-teaching Writing in the Community for almost 10 years. Their students are matched with community groups where they write essays and research papers, and create short video documentaries about and with community members. The experience is powerful for all involved, and in our conversation John and Stephanie give us the behind the scenes perspective. This is a great episode for anyone who teaches writing or is interested in giving students extra motivation to work on their assignments.
