Who’s Calling? My Professional Life as a Series of Phone Calls
In this lively review of key events in her professional role as an art educator, Dr. Marilyn Stewart shares how, as with the call and response of improvisational jazz, we make choices in response to opportunities—often arriving in the form of a phone call—and encounter people, places, and ideas that collectively impact the emerging composition of our lives.
