Adult Education (And So Can You!)
Thanks to Church Tucker for preparing this nicely edited and embeddable version of my February Adult Education “lecture” on metatourism.
If that looks like fun—and believe me, it was—note that I will be curating the Adult Education series in September, October, and November. So if you have an obsession or an arcane sphere of knowledge about which you’d like to present a 10 to 12 minute slideshow, let me know. You can watch other examples of past performances—plus sign up for the Adult Ed mailing list, etc.—right here.
