34 - Coalition Building for Legislative Change
Description
Host Meg Hamlin-Black talks to Nicole Dyszlewski, Professor & Assistant Dean for Curricular Innovation at Roger Williams University School of Law, about building a broad coalition to advocate for legislative change, working to pass the Freedom to Read Act in the 2025 Rhode Island General Assembly session. They also get into graphic novels as accessibility, law textbooks, and their love of reality television. During the Last Chapter they discuss: what is a book that really resonated with you?
