In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Megan Reister, Dr. Jane Ammon, and Dr. Stef Gardiner-Walsh. As these professors share the focus of their doctoral research, they illuminate the concepts of “other mothering” and “MotherScholars.” Each is committed to preparing future teachers to work effectively with students who have some form of hearing loss.
