Episode 11: Educating for Equality: Advocating for AP Women's History

Welcome to the Confident podcast with me, Sheri West, and my fearless daughter, Olivia. Season 5 brings us more conversations with fierce female leaders. We’ll be tackling a range of career readiness and leadership topics ranging from defining your career purpose to leveraging your superpowers, and exploring key questions, like, is it okay to cry in the boardroom?

This week Sheri and Olivia sit down with two brilliant teachers who are advocating for an AP Women’s History course.

Kristen Kelly and Serene Williams have taught history for a combined 38 years. In addition, Kristen Kelly also presents annually at the National Conference for Social Studies, the American Historical Association, and the National Women’s Studies Association. Serene is also an independent historian who publishes articles about women’s political history. Both currently teach at Sacred Heart Prep in California. [Today- we also have a guest student- Hamsika, a sophomore at Mountain House High School in California.
