Talking about all things inclusion

By: Margaret (Mags) Flood
  • Summary

  • Welcome to Talking about all things inclusion, a podcast that, well talks about inclusion. Each episode I talk with someone that inspires me. We chat about what inspired them to walk the equity, diversity, and inclusion path; their hopes and actions for equity and inclusion in education and society; and their top tips and resources to support our own journey of learning, thinking, and actions. Season one is my Fulbright season. As part of my stay in the US, I met and chatted with North American (US and Canada) advocates and experts who are leading the charge for equity, inclusion and UDL.
