Marc explains his dream education model which could simultaneously provide students with the educational experience they deserve and empower professionals to share their knowledge as they become experts in their chosen fields.

Welcome to Episode 16 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast. Our guest is Marc Brown, a swimmer, an educator and coordinator, and all-around good human. 

Marc talks reflects on the past 20 years *gasp* as an educator and reminisces about the days where collegiality, morning tea and open doors were the norm. He poignantly speaks about Government funding cuts which have forced universities to move away from being an educational institution to one which operates like a corporate entity, and his observation that, for some academics, students have become a nuisance standing in the way of their research.

Marc shares stories of students doing the darndest things during prac labs prompting shout outs to some colleagues and friends. If you have been a student of Marc's, you'll want to hear this one. And if you’re not – heck, you’ll want to hear this one too.
