While some of us in the Papers production team were at the AMEE congress in Basel a few weeks ago, we found out that Dr. Eleonora (Nora) Leopardi—a lecturer in Clinical Education at the University of Newcastle, Australia—is not only passionate about healthcare education but also a huge Papers Podcast fan!

We really enjoyed her fantastic and funny session on memes at the AMEE Fringe session, and of course, we wanted to have her up on our “Meet our listeners”-page. And, we couldn’t resist asking her to respond in meme form, and she delivered with style. In this interview, Eleonora shares her favorite podcast episodes, how the Papers Podcast how influences her teaching, and her hilarious ideas for a meme-themed episode.

Papers Podcast on YouTube

Now we will try the visual media and will give some episodes as a video. Hope you all enjoy!

Who Are You? (video episode on YouTube)

In this episode, we talk about curriculum renewal from a different angle:

  • What happens to the educator’s identity when major reform is undertaken?
  • What happens to that identity when content expertise is only part of what is now required?
