Westerville Education Association member Pablo Chignolli believes everyone has a story to tell. His story is shaped by his experiences after immigrating to the United States from Peru as a young adult. The hardship and discrimination he faced then led him on a journey to foster cultural awareness and inclusivity. Now, as a Spanish teacher at Westerville Central High School, he has teamed up with another teacher to help immigrant students in their school tell their own stories and find their own voices. Mr. Chignolli discusses their new book of memoirs powerful conversation with Ohio Schools editor Julie Newhall. We also dive into plans for the 2nd annual Summer Celebration of Diverse Readers, which is offering East Cleveland students the chance to learn from the voices of diverse characters and diverse authors at a huge book giveaway event in early June.

FULL DETAILS: www.ohea.org/diversereadersFeatured Education Matters guest: Pablo Chignolli, Westerville Education Association memberA Spanish teacher in Westerville City Schools, Pablo Chignolli immigrated to the United States from Lima, Peru, in 2003. His arrival in the United States marked the beginning of a journey full of linguistic and cultural challenges. Mr. Chignolli navigated those hardships and issues with discrimination as he pursued a bachelor's degree in Latin American Cultural Studies, with a minor in Andean and Amazonian studies from The Ohio State University. He then went on to earn a master's degree in World Language Education. Upon graduating from that program, Chignolli became a teacher in Reynoldsburg City Schools before moving to a job in Westerville City Schools a few years later. Mr. Chignolli collaborated with fellow Westerville Education Association member Deb Jones, who teaches English Learners, to spearhead the creation of the "The Ones Among Us: Memoirs of Culturally Diverse High School Students," which was published in 2024. About us:The Ohio Education Association represents about 120,000 teachers, faculty members and support professionals who work in Ohio's schools, colleges, and universities to help improve public education and the lives of Ohio's children. OEA members provide professional services to benefit students, schools, and the public in virtually every position needed to run Ohio's schools.Public Education Matters host Katie Olmsted serves as Media Relations Consultant for the Ohio Education Association. She joined OEA in May 2020, after a ten-year career as an Emmy Award winning television reporter, anchor, and producer. Katie comes from a family of educators and is passionate about telling educators' stories and advocating for Ohio's students. She lives in Central Ohio with her husband and two young children. Katie often jokes that her children are walking petri dishes because they are always bringing one kind of 'bug' or another home from preschool and daycare. As you can hear in this episode, Katie was battling yet another one of those illnesses while recording the interviews for this episode. Katie believes she has a good chance of developing an unstoppable immune system by the time her kids are both in elementary school. This episode was recorded on May 15 and May 28, 2024.

La primera entrevista de la segunda temporada de este podcast mira al pasado: discutimos Débora, de Tomás Michelena (1884), novela venezolana olvidada por más de un siglo. La profesora Nathalie Bouzaglo es una de las responsables directas de que Himpar Editores reditara el texto en 2020. Esta novela es una mezcla de melodrama, thriller y defensa de la libertad de las mujeres. Débora y María están insatisfechas con sus respectivos matrimonios: la primera, porque su esposo le prohíbe el contacto con el mundo exterior después de acusarla de adulterio; la segunda, porque tiene que casarse con un hombre mezquino y patético para callar los rumores sobre su presunta conducta descarriada. Mientras sus maridos intentan controlar el deseo de estas mujeres, ellas buscan recuperar su libertad. La narración discontinua, la riqueza de las peripecias y lo sorprendente de los recursos que despliegan los personajes tienen la capacidad para sacudir al público del siglo XXI, como lo hicieron con el del XIX. El autor, Tomás Michelena, nació en Caracas en 1835 y murió en la misma ciudad en 1901. Fue escritor, militar, diplomático y periodista. Trabajó como director y redactor de los diarios políticos El Economista y El Radical. Entre sus ensayos destaca el estudio político-social La libertad para la mujer (1884). Además de la colección de leyendas Tres gotas de sangre en tres siglos (1890), su obra narrativa está compuesta de cuatro novelas Débora (1884), Un tesoro en Caracas (1891), Margarita Rubinstein (1891) y La hebrea (1891). En la conversación, la profesora Bouzaglo y yo hablamos de cómo Tomas Michelena construye Débora como una novela de tesis, donde se defiende el derecho al divorcio, y a la emancipación total de la mujer a través del acceso a la educación y la autonomía legal. De ahí nos extendemos a su inusual investigación sobre “literatura latinoamericana de adulterio” y cómo sus perspectivas metodológicas y uso de fuentes han cambiado desde que publicó Ficción adulterada: Pasiones ilícitas del entresiglo venezolano (Beatriz Viterbo, 2016). Nathalie Bouzaglo tiene un doctorado en literatura latinoamericana de New York University y es profesora asociada en el departamento de Español y Portugués de Northwestern University. Se especializa en literatura latinoamericana de los siglos XIX y XX, con énfasis en la novela moderna, y las narrativas modernas de construcción de nación. Desarrolla un proyecto llamado Drag Kings: An Archeology of Spectacular Masculinities in Latinø America, que incluye simposios, seminarios y un libro co-editado para debatir el futuro del género en el contradictorio espacio latinoamericano. Ha llevado adelante varios proyectos investigativos colectivos que se convirtieron en publicaciones de variado perfil: Miradas efímeras. Cultura visual en el siglo XIX, co-editado con Cecilia Rodríguez (Cuarto Propio, 2018) Dossier “Cuerpos enfermos/Contagios culturales, I and II,” co-editado con Javier Guerrero en Estudios: Revista de Investigaciones Literarias y Culturales 17 and 18 (2010). Excesos del cuerpo: Ficciones de contagio y enfermedad en América Latina, co-editado con Javier Guerrero. (Eterna Cadencia, 2009, reimpreso en 2011 y 2012). Dossier “The Legacy of Oscar Wilde in Latin American Literature and Culture” co-editado con Ana Rodríguez Navas en Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies v. 28, n. 3 (2019) Dossier “Malentendidos del siglo XIX”, co-editado con Catalina Rodriguez en Taller de letras n. 66 (2020). Débora está en la red de librerías independientes "El Colectivo Huracán" de Colombia, también en su tienda online El cuarto plegable. Para compras en el resto del mundo, use Amazon o escriba a himpareditores@gmail.com. Si prefiere formato digital, puede encontrarla en varias tiendas: Amazon, Librería Gandhi, Casa del libro, Google Play). Débora también se encuentra como audiolibro en Storytel.

In Making Samba: A New History of Race and Music in Brazil (Duke University Press, 2013), Marc Hertzman revisits the history of Brazil’s quintessential music and dance genre to explore the links between popular music, intellectual property, law, racial democracy and nation formation. Charting more than a century of samba’s development, Hertzman challenges simplistic narratives of the all too often romanticized form, focusing instead on the material conditions under which this cultural powerhouse came to be produced. So doing, he highlights the complex social, cultural and political processes at the heart of making samba, and indeed, making Brazil. Mark Hertzman is Associate Professor of History at the University of Illinois. His first book, Making Samba, was awarded Honorable mention by the Latin American Studies Association for the Bryce Wood Book Prize. He is currently working on his next book project, titled The Death of Zumbi: Suicide, Slavery and Martyrdom in Brazil and the Black Atlantic. Prior to joining the University of Illinois, he was an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Latin American Studies as Wesleyan University, and then Assistant Professor of Latin American Cultural Studies and Director of the Centre for Brazilian Studies at Columbia University. Sitara Thobani is Assistant Professor in the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities, Michigan State University. Her research focuses on the performance arts in colonial and postcolonial South Asia and its diasporas, especially as these relate to formations of nation, gender, sexuality and religion. She received her DPhil in Social and Cultural Anthropology form Oxford University, and is the author of Indian Classical Dance and the Making of Postcolonial National Identities: Dancing on Empire’s Stage (Routledge 2017).
