In today’s episode, our guest, who we like to call Dr. Bibi, truly takes us on a journey from how she’s trying to affect change on an individual level as an educational therapist, to her bird’s eye view of our society’s values around education, mental health, and social justice. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the larger systems at play and questioning the frameworks within which we operate. Dr. Bibi challenges the idea of a one-size-fits-all approach to education and highlights the need for nuance and complexity, something that can feel impossible when we’re looking at systemic change. We dive into capitalism and standardized testing and even the rabbit hole of AI phasing out the need for humans at all. It’s not all doomsday though, we promise.
