Sight Unseen Aotearoa - 24-11-2020 - Education and Visual Impairment - Rod Carr




Sight Unseen Aotearoa show

Summary: Rod Carr has had a stellar career. He has been the VC of the University of Canterbury, chairman of the Board of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, and is now the chairman of the climate change commission. So what does he thinks it takes to educate a young person with a significant visual impairment? This is the first of a series of programs about education and visual impairment. Rod talks about his coping mechanisms (‘healthy mind in a healthy body’), about asking what someone can do (not what they can see) and many other things. This interview is a great introduction to a wonderful (and highly educated) mind. This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - oar.org.nz
