Abstract
The interview was conducted by Cedric Streater with John Cutrone as part of Project 2020: A Collaborative Oral History. Cutrone discusses his experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic as both an educator and citizen. He offers insight into the early stages of lockdown, and the evolution of the learning experience in terms of virtual and hybrid learning. He also details his personal and professional relationship with the school curriculum as well as the politicization of the pandemic. Other notable topics include the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election, Black Lives Matter, and the greater educational and social challenges facing the nation.
John Cutrone is a secondary English teacher at Indian Land High School. Mr. Cutrone studied at Spartanburg Methodist College, the University of South Carolina, and Winthrop University. He obtained an M.A. in Teaching from Winthrop in 2017.
Spearheaded by Dr. O. Jennifer Dixon-McKnight, an Assistant Professor of History & African American Studies at Winthrop University, Project 2020 is best summarized in her words: “The goal was to conduct interviews that explored the various ways in which Americans were experiencing and being impacted by the various watershed moments that emerged during 2020 (the global pandemic, social unrest, financial challenges, issues with healthcare, etc.)."
