À propos de l'auteur
Erica Jolly completed secondary education at St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School and graduated from the University of Adelaide with an Honours degree in history in 1956. She then taught in secondary schools for forty years, mainly in South Australian Technical High Schools until 1974. In 1978 she completed a Masters degree in English literature at Flinders University.
Erica realised early that categorisation and predetermined pathways for students limited their scope. That limitation, reinforced by teaching subjects as 'silos', discouraged interdisciplinary approaches.
In 1992 she gave up her position as Deputy Principal (Curriculum) at Marion High School.
Elected to the Flinders University Council in 1990, she supported interdisciplinary developments on Council, and also when she was on the Academic Senate from 1997-2002. From 1992 to 2016 her focus has been on her role as the education/health advocate for the SA Chapter of the Australian Federation of University Women.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Erica Jolly's current publication, This Business of Living and Learning is a memoir, in free verse form, of her decades-long involvement in education, teaching secondary students, and her simultaneous voyage of learning about life.Raised by their mother after her father's early death, Erica and her brother David chose different directions. She qualified as a secondary teacher, rising to become a Deputy Principal (Curriculum), and a committed campaigner for cross-disciplinary education for all - but especially for young girls whose education was often neglected. She has argued for the connection of the humanities and the sciences, engineering, technology and mathematics as essential for the integration needed for meaningful citizenship. STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) - not the current artificial and destructive 'divide'.Erica has published two books of poetry, Pomegranates and Making a Stand, a history of vocational education in South Australia in A Broader Vision, and Challenging the Divide - essays by scientists and poets who know how essential this cross-cultural connection is for the quality of our nation. Presented in free verse form, this memoir covers Erica Jolly's decades-long involvement in education, teaching secondary students, and her simultaneous voyage of learning about life.
