STEAM Themes: What Do Stories Teach Us?

Themes are STEAM! Practice the key social science method of thematic analysis with Ariel Cascio, anthropologist and assistant professor of bioethics and social justice. Thematic analysis involves paying close attention to pictures, words, and stories to find themes. Themes are central ideas that come up again and again. Come read and sort some stories from The Aesop for Children like "The Hare and the Tortoise." What are the central ideas of these classic stories? Do they still apply to your life? Come tell us what you think.
