The ADNA Presents: Tabitha Kenlon: Connection Beyond the Ocular
Manage episode 513409475 series 2813244
What happens when you start teaching for connection?
In this conversation with Dr. Tabitha Kenlon, an English professor who teaches students across the world (including in Afghanistan), we explore what it really means to see one another when sight isn't the main channel.
Tabitha shares how her experiences with low vision reshaped her classroom, and how vulnerability, curiosity, and access can transform both teaching and storytelling. We talk about authority as a bridge instead of a throne, about “sprinkling” inclusion instead of siloing it, and how risk can become an act of generosity.
You'll hear insights that reach far beyond education: from redefining presence to building authentic connection in spaces where visuals fall short.
If you've ever wondered what inclusion sounds like in practice, this episode is a masterclass in human-centered connection.
