Anne Fanning says teaching and organizing a course is a wonderful opportunity to explore a topic that she thinks is critically important – and then getting feedback.
“I find the subjects fascinating and then getting gurus to talk about it is fabulous. The organizers of ELLA are generous with their time and my ideas. They encouraged me to explore various things and that’s worked well.
There’s flexibility with numbers attending and tremendous help from the background people who set up connections with the various speakers in different parts of the world. That’s stuff I would be totally unable to manage myself.
Special memories of ELLA would be the outstanding help from the organizers such as Walter Archer and Debbie Schoctor. My thing was Global Health so I taught that course at the end of my working career.
ELLA is a wonderful opportunity for me to explore my passions and interests and wonderful that other people are interested too. The adaptation of doing the classes on Zoom is wonderful.”
