    Episode 48: Is It Though?
    Nov 22 2022

    (in my loudest "Ross" voice): We were on a break. We were on a BREAK!

    In this episode, we were joined by Dr. Alexandra Babino, Assistant Professor of Bilingual Education at Texas Woman's Univ. (at time of recording she was at Texas A&M Commerce). This was one of those episodes where our planning session before the recording turned into such a rich discussion that we just kept on talking. Dr. Babino helps us think about the paradigms that underpin our understanding of the world around us: a particularly important reflection for the student engaged in the dissertation!
