For our final podcast for Winter 2021, we have Dr. Lisbeth Berbary, Associate Professor in Recreation & Leisure Studies at the University of Waterloo. Dr. LB drops knowledge on how she challenges students to think beyond themselves (their Self) to be able to engage critically with the world around them and re-think how the institutions they love define them. Special thanks to Nadia Booraki from the class this term for making this fantastic connection.
