Episode 5: Open Door Policy (Tenskwatawa)

Sects Ed would like to thank Adam Franti, a graduate student at Eastern Michigan University, for joining us as the first guest on our podcast. To learn more about Franti's work, you can visit his ResearchGate profile here.

Since this episode took the form of a conversational interview, there was little to research on our part. However, we consulted the following secondary sources to formulate our interview questions:
