Getting a Grip in the Classroom
julie December 7th, 2009
Via Skype, Frances now offers Getting a Grip classroom discussions and finds the interaction with young people who are searching for direction to be immensely rewarding. So far, conversations have included students from the University of Pittsburgh, Mount Holyoke, and the University of Colorado, Denver, among others.
One professor commented on the effect the book has had on her class, “…it helped them reach beyond the overwhelm that some have felt about the extent of world problems…” going on to say “…they took many ideas and lessons from your book on trying to help people recognize the big ideas about democracy, power/powerlessness, and fear that might keep them from acting, and on helping them realize the significance of individual actions to turn things around.”
Already in German and Korean, the book is soon to appear in Spanish as Tenemos Las Reinas. For a limited time, you can now order Frances’s new book Liberation Ecology, and Getting a Grip together for only $25 plus free shipping. Read a piece of Getting a Grip’s message in Tikkun.
