Episode 1
Where does school begin? In this episode, we hear about the first instances of formal schooling in recorded human history. Sumerologists Jana Matuszak, of the University of Chicago, and Sophus Helle, at Freie Universität Berlin, take us into a world of clay--clay tablets, clay schoolhouses, and clay snacks. (Well, sort of.) With a reading of the ancient text known as "School Days," by Loujaina Abdelwahed, and episode art by Zora Nicholls.
