Stories-To-Live-By with Anna Hamilton
In this special series of Classroom Caffeine in collaboration with the Stories-To-Live-By Collective, we talk with a group of K–12 teachers from across the state of Florida and former teachers now in higher education who are working together to explore how literacy teaching can respond to the climate crisis.
In this episode, Anna Hamilton talks to us about the work of The Marjorie, Florida’s independent reporting outlet dedicated to the critical intersection of social justice and the environment.
Anna is the Co-Founder & Development Director for The Marjorie. She is a radio producer and oral historian whose work explores the cultures and environments of the American South. Anna has developed projects for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Southern Foodways Alliance, and reported for outlets including NPR and Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting. The Marjorie is not your source for breaking news. Instead, they specialize in telling in-depth stories about Florida’s environment that consider human values as well as important historical and cultural contexts. The Marjorie was named for three of Florida’s iconic Marjories: author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, conservationist Marjorie Harris Carr, and advocate Marjory Stoneman Douglas. The Marjorie has collaborated with members of the Stories-To-Live-By project through panel presentations and resource sharing. You can connect with Anna and The Marjorie at themarjorie.org.
