Teaching and Immigration Policy During A Global Pandemic with Meaghan Shiffler

Season #2 Episode #6

Meaghan Shiffler is a teacher living in Detroit and a newlywed navigating the US immigration system with her wife during this global pandemic. She shares more about the pivots she's had to make in her life -- from rescheduling her wedding to a small kitchen ceremony; navigating the emotional toll of supporting her wife through unfair immigration policies and systems; and adapting her middle school students to the distance learning environment. Meaghan talks about the digital divide, access to technology, and the state of education from her perspective in Detroit, and shares her thoughts on what she'd like to come from this pandemic: Radical Change in Education and Unity among Parents and Teachers.
