In the pilot episode of How to Have a Conversation, Ijeoma Njaka, Inclusive Pedagogy Specialist and facilitator of In Your Shoes; and Ashanee Kottage, scientist storyteller activist from Colombo, Sri Lanka; share their experiences, reflections and lessons learned from engaging with In Your Shoes. In Your Shoes was founded as a collaborative project of Georgetown University’s Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics, Georgetown’s Democracy & Governance program, and Patrick Henry College.


Ijeoma Njaka is an educator, artist, and writer. She currently works at a split position at Georgetown University: she is the Senior Project Associate for Equity-Centered Design at the Red House, a unit that is shaping a new learning paradigm that expands high-impact practices and fosters a culture of equity, innovation, inquiry and collaboration at Georgetown; and the Inclusive Pedagogy Specialist for the Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics, a center of learning, practice, policy, global theater and performance that harnesses the power of global performance to humanize politics. As an educator, she specializes in inclusive pedagogy and anti-bias education for student, faculty, and staff audiences. Inspired by the power of arts and museum education, she curated (In)Visibility at Georgetown: Past, Present, and Future, an art exhibit highlighting the work and experiences of marginalized students at Georgetown as an educational experience.


Ashanee Kottage is a scientist storyteller activist from Colombo, Sri Lanka. She is currently a Research Analyst at the Earth Commons, an environment and sustainability institute and the Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics working to communicate climate science and socio-ecological issues.
