On this Month's Episode of The Sociologist's Dojo Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Delamarter, Associate Professor and Chair of the Education Department at Saint Martin's University, joins the host to discuss the representation of teachers in film. They discuss the differences between "effective" and "affective" teaching, how teachers are conditioned to exploit themselves through it's origin in religious doctrine, the white savior trope, and why teachers on film are so damn inspiring! This episode really does "Stand and Deliver" the "Dangerous Minds" of "Freedom Writers" who shout "Here comes the Boom!" from the "Dead Poet's Society" at the "School of Rock."
*Note: Audio may me a little lower than in previous episodes Please adjust accordingly*
