The Backstory: “The Talk”

Posted by

Been cleaning out books from our personal library that we don’t use or want.

I guess I’ll keep this one. It’s not particularly useful, but it is personally significant.

This is how my parents gave me the “sex talk”: this book showed up on my bed one day, around the time I turned 12. I think my mom mentioned that I could ask her questions if I had any…..

And those 60 pages served as the sum total of my sex ed knowledge before I got married.

(I guess you could throw in the awkward 10th grade biology lecture on human reproduction.)

I write. I design. I read and think. I teach. I talk to people -- all kinds of people. My career journey includes working as a librarian, teaching for over a decade, working in higher education, freelancing as a graphic designer and marketing consultant, and earning a doctorate (as of 2022). My dream job would cross-pollinate the skills of barista and consultant, helping individuals and organizations understand the problems they face, ask better questions, and design solutions that work in their contexts. My research interests include improving STEM education in college classrooms, Design Thinking and human-centered design, relational and collective theories of leadership, knowledge life cycles within organizations, and faculty development. Somewhere back in time, my students started calling me "RameyLady" and the name stuck.
