But Nolan says that just raising questions is important.“I’m not an educator, and I don’t pretend to be an educator,” she says during an interview in her home, a five-minute walk from Radcliffe Yard. “But I think I make a difference by asking questions that haven’t been asked before.”While Nolan?...
