<p>Linda has been mulling over what an education is, what purposes it serves. She was so curious about it that she begin to reflect on the etymology of the word. The root of “educate” comes from <em>educe</em>, from the Latin, meaning "to lead forth"<em> </em>or "lead out of," which then led her to think, leading <em>out of … what? From where </em>and <em>to where</em>? And who is doing the leading? <em>For whom</em>? <em>And why</em>? Weaving in her personal conversations and experiences alongside different cultural texts – from <em>Valley of the Bird Tail </em>to <em>An Education </em>to Tom Wayman’s “Did I Miss Anything?”<em> </em>– she ultimately focuses on M. NourbeSe Philip’s <em>She Tries Her Tongue, Her Silence Softly Breaks</em> to demonstrate the potential deleterious effects of an “education.” It is not always an innocent or innocuous process.</p><br><p>Also in this episode – <strong>our first giveaway ever</strong>!
