In this RE-RELEASE episode Dr. Jane Halonen joins Garth Neufeld to discuss her decades-long career in psychology education. From overcoming a fear of public speaking to mentoring generations of teachers, Jane reflects on her path from clinical psychology to teaching, her experiences as a woman in 1970s academia, and her transformative years at Alverno College's performance-based curriculum. Jane illustrates what she calls "the magic of teaching" and emphasizes the importance of finding supportive communities and building meaningful connections with students.
