Today we remember Debbie Epstein, who passed away last month. Debbie was a major figure in the field of education whose work brought together cultural studies and sociology. Ever an activist, Debbie made important and lasting contributions to how we think about anti-racism and sexuality and education. I’ve asked Debbie’s long-time friend and collaborator, Jane Kenway, to join me to talk Debbie. After Jane’s introduction, I’m going to replay my interview with Debbie from 2017. Please forgive the sound quality. FreshEd was less than two years old at the time and I was clearly still learning the technical ropes.

Debbie Epstein was an Emerita Professor of Cultural Studies in Education. Thanks to Jane Kenway, Emeritus Professor at Monash University and a Professorial Fellow at Melbourne University, for joining me.
