“There’s something really important about the fact that we are in the business of teaching,” said Tetlow. “If there’s anyone who should understand how to spread information, how to help people understand—it’s us. So how do we model our own pedagogy with each other?”
Tetlow spoke on the Twice Over Podcast, which was developed during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to find meaning and connection during a turbulent time. Over the past two years, it evolved into a platform where students, faculty, administrators, and guest speakers at other academic institutions share effective practices in their work and build connections through candid conversations. More than 40 guests have been interviewed by the podcast’s two hosts: Steven D’Agustino, director of online learning, and Anne Fernald, special advisor to the provost. They conduct recording sessions in a sound-controlled studio within the Learning, Innovation, Technology Environment, a new center in the basement of Walsh Library where students, faculty, and administrators use cutting-edge technology for their research.
The podcast episode featuring Tetlow was published on Nov. 28. For nearly an hour, Tetlow speaks in depth on many topics, including why she decided to work in higher education and how her second grade teacher changed her life. The podcast episode can be streamed on Twice Over’s website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, SoundCloud, and YouTube.
They’ll find some helpful advice in the new Twice Over podcast.
The brainchild of hosts Anne E. Fernald, professor of English and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies and special advisor to the provost for faculty development, and Steven M. D’Agustino, director of online learning, Twice Over is a spinoff of the town hall meetings Fernald and D’Agustino have both recently hosted to assist faculty members with the transition to distance learning.
Titled Twice Over “because to teach is to learn twice over,” the podcast hopes to provide “asynchronous advice” to faculty, with compelling conversation between the hosts and potential guests, questions from listeners, and interviews with people in the Fordham community.
Their inaugural episode, It’s Okay to Look like a Potato on Zoom, debuted on March 25 on SoundCloud. It includes discussion about “how to stay connected to our love of teaching as we struggle to redefine our classes and rethink our practices.” Check their SoundCloud page for new episodes. The podcast can also be found on Stitcher and Spotify.
