In our final full episode of Season 8, Jill and Jamie recap the highlights of season two and reflect on what the conversations with Alcott scholars have taught them. Then they both share what they've been reading and researching lately. Jamie, who has been teaching second grade this year, dives into the differences between teaching Little Women and teaching about the Alcotts' lives to young children. She explores picture books and young reader chapter books that feature Louisa.
Jill visited a reenactment of a Civil War hospital at the Milton House museum and discusses how it affected her reading of Hospital Sketches with her son. She also talks about her deep research into queer interpretations of Little Women and of Louisa's characters, as well as Louisa's exploration of gender in scholarly writings.
We'll be back in the fall after Jill's visit to Massachusetts!
