Episode 9: Learning Inside & Out with Ben Delloiacono

This week, I'm chatting with Ben Delloiacono, an adjunct English professor who teaches at several universities in New Jersey, as well as inside prisons via the New Jersey Scholarship and Transformative Education in Prisons Consortium (NJ-STEP). We talk about Ben's reluctance to start teaching, what he did during the ten year period between getting his B.A. and Masters, why he has found his experience teaching in prison both challenging and fulfilling, and his take on anger, forgiveness, and the importance of saying "I love you."  You can learn more topics covered and references made in the episode by visiting the Shownotes page.
