Julie Goldberg
@[email protected]#Teacher, #librarian, #writer, #reader. #Neurodivergent. Former NY State Senate candidate. Advanced degrees in #literature, #education, and #library & information science, but none of them are doctorates so it doesn't count. I teach students to understand and make strong arguments because it's the best I can do now for #democracy and the #climate. I love #journalists, #historians, #scientists, and other truth-seekers. Oh, and I've written two novels and raised two children. She/her
