Identity and Self Determination with Dr. Temple Lovelace

This podcast episode features Dr. Temple Lovelace and an incredible program she has worked on, called Girlhood Rising. Dr. Lovelace is an Associate Professor of Special Education at Duquesne University. In her work with Girlhood Rising, Dr. Lovelace noticed the erasure of many young girls’ childhoods because of the pressure to mature or take on additional responsibility, due to various circumstances and societal influence. As she started this work, she asked a few questions: How can I prevent erasure of girls’ childhoods and how do we allow girls to understand their own abilities and learn about themselves? Tune in to the episode to learn about the powerful impact Girlhood Rising has had on many students and the work to come from the project.
