An Interview at the Arena!
Chatting about work, schooling, and daily life
Hi everyone,
(First, a quick note: please consider joining me and for a free, live Zoom on homeschooling and teaching history this Saturday, September 28. Check out the details and access the link here. All subscribers are welcome!)
I was so happy to be asked recently to do this interview update for the Arena at Current. Here,
asks about my book project, how daily life, homeschooling, and work mesh for me as a historian and a mother of four, and what I make of the recent media alarmism about homeschooling. Shoutout to , too, whose series on how different people homeschool is one of my favorite things on Substack, and which I mention in the interview!Read our discussion here:
“Interview: Dixie Dillon Lane’s book is under contract…”
As you might well guess, I am spending lots of time these days plugging away on my book manuscript revisions (as well as working on getting our autumn print issue of Hearth & Field ready!). But I do hope to continue to have a few more things to share with you here at the Hollow in the coming weeks, even if not at my usual posting rate.
It’s a strange time of life that I’m in, homeschooling at a different level now, making the home, and writing, writing, writing (from home). I think the oddest part is not quite knowing what is next, nor what I hope will come next. I guess we will see!
What have you been up to lately?
Warmly,
So glad you did this interview! I think it’s so helpful to be able to see that others are not wed to the things that were working last season- it gives some helpful “permission” to change our own rhythms too!
Hearth and Field is absolutely breathtaking! Just so beautifully executed and the articles are superb!
