Professor Lawrence-Light-foot will guide the lectures through the consideration of three of her books: Balm in Gilead: Journey Of A Healer (1989); The Essential Conversation: What Parents and Teachers Can Learn From Each Other (2003); and Growing Each Other Up: When Our Children Become Our Teachers (2016).
This lecture series is a retrospective, tracing the themes of teaching and learning, loss and liberation, and love and suffering that appear and reappear in these works Professor Lawrence-Light-foot will also track her own scholarly/personal journey across a changing educational and cultural ecology, and consider the methodology of portraiture as a lens for witnessing and documenting powerful, complex, and intimate relationships.
