On April 9th a group of PETE educators, representing several institutions in the U.S., and scholars from other countries (e.g., Mexico, UK, Canada, Ireland), joined together online for a discussion about building PETE community during a crisis, with specific reference to the current COVID-19 pandemic. We topped off at 158 participants and remained steady with 150+ PETE educators and graduate students engaging, positively for over 1.5hrs!
