On this episode of the She Who Persisted podcast, Heather speaks with Holly Painter, a writer and lecturer for the University of Vermont as they discuss life for LGBT communities within academia, specifically the balance of being an LGBT parent within academia. Many topics are explored: from experiencing how LGBT individuals are welcomed in various places around the world to what some of the most pressing issues are for the LGBT community today (and many areas in between). Give this episode a listen, check out the links below, and leave SWP some feedback on this interview, especially if you love it as much as we do! ;-)
