The Book Club For Busy Lives

Exploring inclusive teaching practices in higher education, one book at a time.

about the podcast

Did you know that each year, the US publishes almost 1 million new books? It would be impossible for any one person to stay on top of this volume of information. Luckily, The Book Club For Busy Lives is here to help! In this multi-part podcast, we explore one book at a time pertaining to inclusive teaching practices in higher education. 

We listen in as educators and guests analyze specific facets of our spotlighted book, and discuss how it relates to real-world applications within their own lives and teaching practices.

The Book Club For Busy Lives Podcast is brought to you by Quinnipiac University’s School of Health Sciences Inclusive Excellence Committee in conjunction with the Center for Teaching and Learning. It is a production of the Quinnipiac University Podcast Studio.
