Maggie Roberts ‘Lockdown in Oaxaca’

Maggie moved to Mexico City from the UK nearly twenty-four years ago and then moved to Oaxaca seven years ago.

We discuss her teaching work, how lockdown has affected what she does and the economy in Oaxaca and why everybody has more than one job there. The organisations she mentions are Paseos a Ciegas and Wheel the World.

    Absolutely loved listening to this. Used to teach with Maggie in Mexico City back in the day. She was inspiring, open-minded and adventurous then…I know nothing has changed, which is why she has such a great time and so many fabulous experiences in her adopted country. Lovely to hear you, Maggie, and all your stories. Bridgette

    Maggie did an exceptional job describing her experiences in Mexico. She is to be admired, as a person and an educator. I enjoyed our lunches in Condesa discussing education. Thank you for an enlightening conversation.
