In this episode of the Wilmette Institute’s Changing Course Podcast Series, we explore what it means to see learning as a mode of operation—not simply as something that happens in classrooms, but as a way of navigating life itself.

Host Emily Chou sits down with Gelareh Eslami—curriculum development specialist and educator—to reflect on how transformative learning reshapes the way we approach relationships, service, work, and personal growth. Together, they discuss learning through action and reflection, the importance of reciprocal relationships, and how embracing a learner's mindset can lead to lasting individual and social transformation.

This episode is part of our ongoing exploration of the themes at the heart of the Social Transformation Certificate program.
