A Burning Yearning for Learning (S8-E56, Steven Weber)
Learning should be fun, so "Pop, the Question" turns the mic on an evolving pedagogy where college professors find ways to bring plenty of “razzle dazzle” to the classroom. This includes innovative projects, collaboration, and discourse. And, as is the case for this episode’s guest, it means the incorporation of plenty of pop cultural references: the wisdom of Skeletor; the intersection of Prince’s music with mathematical fractals like the Mandelbrot set; and even lessons learned from classic Shakespeare plays. Host Dr. Melinda Lewis partners with Dr. Steven Weber, Drexel University academic leader and longtime friend of Pennoni Honors College, for a playful conversation about new and inspired ways of teaching and learning. Recorded February 7, 2024 in 155 Bentley Hall, Pennoni Honors College, Drexel University (Philadelphia, PA, USA).
