What's it like to teach in Palestine | Confessions of an American expat teacher | Vital Educators

This week, I had the pleasure to speak to Sophia Lavoie, who is a recent graduate in English Literature from University of Rhode Island. She is spending her time in COVID in Palestine, teaching kids English. In this discussion, she documents her experiences of whats it like to teach in such a controversial area of the world and why she took the leap. She is also extremely well-traveled and love to read books to expand her horizons.

Her recommended reads:

1. Arab & Jews: Wounded Spirit In a Promised Land
2. Our Harsh Logic: Israeli Soldiers' Testimonies From the Occupied Territories 2000-2010
3. Hollow Land: Israel's Architect of Occupation by Eyal Weizman
4. How to Understand Israel in 60 Days of Less by Sarah Glidden
5. I Saw Ramallah by Mourid Barghouti
6. The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Illan Pappe
7. Palestine in Israeli School Books Image and Reality by Nurit Peled-Elhanan
8. Men in the Sun by Ghassan Khanafani
9. The Butterfly's Burden by Mahmoud Darwish
