Being Kind to Our Future Selves, with Matthew Mahavongtrakul

Today on episode number 615 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast, Matthew Mahavantrakal is back. This time we have a conversation about being kind to our future selves. Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential. Welcome to this episode of Teaching in Higher Ed. I'm Bonnie Stahoviak and this is the space where we explore the art and science of being more effective at facilitating learning.

We also share ways to improve our productivity approaches so we can have more peace in our lives and be even more present for our students. Today on episode six hundred and fifteen, Matthew Mahavantracal is back and he is joining me for a conversation where we share our ideas, experiences, and approaches related to being kind to our future selves. Matt is a first generation multilingual lifelong learner whose work bridges neuroscience, faculty development, and the deeply human side of teaching.

Matt earned his PhD at UC Irvine studying epigenetics and cognitive impairment, and now he serves as program director of faculty educational development where he leads initiatives like the Active Learning Institute and supports faculty across disciplines and designing more engaging learning experiences. I'm excited for you to hear this conversation and the ways in which Matt and I clearly love geeking out about these things and sharing our stories and things that have worked and things that have not worked for us in terms of being kind to our future selves. Matt Mahavantrakal, welcome back to Teaching in Higher Ed. Thank you for having me.
