“Our society, our schools, our workplaces are all built on ideas that grades, productivity, and whatnot are what we should be focusing on instead of our wellbeing and the wellbeing of others.”

This episode of Strength in the Midst of Change features Schinella D’Souza, a PhD student in mathematics and a 2022 recipient of the Irma M. Wyman CEW+ Scholarship. Schinella shares her insights into inclusivity and equity in teaching, and compassionate mentorship.

Resiliency is best demonstrated in times of change. Join CEW+ Director Tiffany Marra as she talks to students, staff, faculty, and community members connected to the University of Michigan’s Center for the Education of Women+ (CEW+) in our podcast, Strength in the Midst of Change, to hear personal and professional stories of strength and growth. Through this podcast, CEW+ seeks to create a safe place where you will be inspired by the stories of everyday people.
