Description

A memoir can be an incredibly valuable tool for education in a number of ways. For example, they can help to develop empathy for people with different backgrounds or experiences. Likewise, memoirs can inspire students to reflect on their experiences and find their own voice. Professor Chitpin’s extraordinary account of her story with education offers an invaluable opportunity to see the value of learning and teaching beyond school walls.
