First hour: Celebrate City Living

Second hour: Teaching the teachers

Celebrate City Living is coming back to Rochester, and in our preview, we'll explore what "city living" means from a wide range of angles. There's home ownership: what's available? How are neighborhoods growing and changing? What does it mean for people who have lived there for decades? There's homeless prevention and poverty. Our guests will explore city living:

  • Joel Kunkler, director of landlord tenant services and homeless prevention at The Housing Council at Pathstone
  • Caitlin Meives, preservation planner for the Landmark Society of Western New York
  • Beverly Fair Brooks, regional community reinvestment officer for M&T Bank
  • Molly Clifford, member of Rochester City Council

SUNY Geneseo just completed its fourth annual Teachers Day -- it's essentially a day to teach the teachers. High school and middle school teachers come to campus to get up to speed on the best ways to teach American history and other kinds of history. This year, teachers learned about Native American history, for example. So are American middle and high schools teaching history effectively? Our guests:

  • Joe Cope, professor of history and director of SUNY Geneseo's Center for Inquiry, Discovery and Development
  • Justin Behrend, associate professor and chair of the History Department at SUNY Geneseo
  • Sarah Prinzi, 7th grade American history and AP psychology teacher at Geneseo Central School District
