Hannah Love has been teaching philosophy at Portland Community College since 2013, but if you count back to when she started graduate school in 2000, she is well into her third decade of this wonderful adventure. Exploring complex and deeply human questions with students is her privilege; while she might not always have answers, she believes we're learning more with every conversation. When she is not in the classroom, you can find her volunteering at her kids' school, reading, or getting up early to go for a run.
Michelle Swinehart is an Assistant Teaching Professor at Portland State University where she teaches courses focused on developing creative ways to imagine, reflect and design. She loves developing community partnerships with the likes of the Portland Art Museum, Narrative4, Imagining America and StoryCorps. Recently she’s been working on an art+science exchange with Dr. Jamie Cornelius, founder of the Little Bird Lab at Oregon State University where she is an artist-in-residence. Together, they explore what emerges when creativity and experimentation converge in the field. She loves spending time at Full Plate Farm, an organic vegetable farm she co-owns with her husband and an ever-increasing population of wild bunnies. Michelle holds a MAT from Lewis and Clark College in Art Education and MFA in Art and Social Practice from Portland State University.
