Invitation to virtual interactive session | 8 July, 2pm GMT
by Schöneberg, Julia, Dr. 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Dear friends, Encouraged by Brandon and Ashish's call for more interactive collaboration, I would like to propose a virtual session and hope that you'd be interested to participate. At this point, probably all of us are already quite "Zoom"-fatigued. Nevertheless, in some spaces I have also found comfort and new energy through the distant but immediate community with like-minded, in what feels like a detached and rather surreal socially distant situation. I hope that with PeDAGoG we can also create such mutually supportive community, and while I appreciate the resources and interventions shared via the list, I sometimes wish I could put a face to a name. In that spirit, I would like to invite everyone to join me for an interactive workshop/exchange session on 8 July, 2pm GMT. In thematical break-away rooms we will be discussing in smaller groups, giving everyone the chance to talk, share and getting to know each other, before coming back to a final plenary discussion. In terms of thematical foci I have drawn the following from the collaborative board. Of course, these are proposals, please feel free to send me your suggestions of what you'd find important: 1. Teaching in crises: What are the pedagogical implications of the pandemic? 2. Neoliberal academic environments: Strategies to cope and counter 3. Practicing epistemic disobedience: Decolonizing the classroom Please register through this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrd-ugpj0pHNZzsKmYwGZAMgPUkRbpnD… Do let me know your thoughts or comments on this. Looking forward to getting to know many new faces on 8 July.

About the Non-Profit Educational Social Networking Website (From Yuxin Hou-Honorary Member of ICCA Consortium)
by Yuxin Hou 04 Jul '20

04 Jul '20

Dear All: Hope this email finds all of you well. Thanks for inviting me to "GTA-PeDAGoG" mailing list. I am an Honorary member of the ICCA Consortium. It was my great honor to complete the both English summary and Chinese version of “Analysis on ICCAs in the Region of Xinjiang” some years ago. They are in the following links below. I received my PhD in Anthropology in 2012. Now, I am engaged in teaching and research at College of Staten Island of the City University of New York. https://www.iccaconsortium.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ICCAs-in-Xinjiang… https://www.iccaconsortium.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ICCAs-in-Xinjiang… I built a website https://www.pedagogism.com This is a nonprofit social networking website for educators, students, parents and general public to share their pedagogies and concerns on education. It aims to promote overall educational success for all and serve the public interests. On this website, two of the forums categories that I create are “Education for Sustainable Development Forums” and “Indigenous Education Forums”. It aims to raise public awareness of the importance of education for sustainable development and indigenous education, and also to encourage public participation in the debate on this topic, thereby promoting sustainable development and indigenous cultures, natural rights from an educational perspective. Under the “Indigenous Education Forums”, I have also created " Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs) Forum" to make ICCAs and its importance more widely known. As a scholar of Anthropology and Sociology, I also pay close attention to the research of Indigenous People. I have been committed to promoting the economic, cultural and social development research of the indigenous peoples. In the study, I found that not only do indigenous students face many challenges in their study, but also the whole education system lacks relevant courses on aboriginal culture, such as teaching in aboriginal languages, teaching on aboriginal cultural heritage, history and tradition, etc. The lack of this kind of education has further exacerbated the general public’s lack of understanding of aboriginal culture. According to relevant research, every 14 days an aboriginal language disappears from the earth, which is not only the death of language but also the end of culture. We lack a common platform for communication, so on the website I have set up “Indigenous Education “Forms. One of the important purposes is to arouse public attention to the history, language, culture and nature protection of indigenous people by participating online forums or group discussions, at the same time, it is also aimed at promoting the education department to fully integrate indigenous education into different stages of education in order to achieve the goal of protecting the indigenous culture from the public basis. With the progress of human civilization, anthropocentrism is continuously destroying the sustainable development of mankind. This kind of destructive behavior includes excessive consumption of natural and animal resources, social inequality, improper waste management, global poverty, etc. Although many scholars, government agencies, non-profit organizations and other agencies have invested a lot of energy to study the coping strategies or formulate relevant policies, the effect is not as we wish. What are the underlying reasons behind this? The lack of sustainable education in our modern education system is an important reason, and sustainable education should run through every stage of education. It should have the same status as basic courses and become a compulsory subject in education. This is an important reason for this website to set up “Education for Sustainable Development” forums. It is hoped that through active discussions of the general public, the all-round development of sustainable education will be promoted. I think the “Education for Sustainable Development Forums” and “Indigenous Education Forums” is important for promoting sustainability and the protection of the cultural and natural rights of indigenous people. It would be very important to get more people involved. This website is easy to use and you are able to create unlimited social groups and forum discussions, comment as well as submit post. The functions include Member Profile, Social Groups, Forum Discussion, Private Messaging, Private Community, User Invites, Network Search, Activity Feeds, Album and Media, Events, Notifications, Activity Privacy Options and more. Welcome to use the two forums on this website as the platform to promote the development of sustainable and indigenous education. In the meantime, if you think there are some topics worth setting up as new forums category or subforums, thanks for letting me know and I would like to discuss it with you. I found “PeDaGoG” is a very important initiative. Do you want me to set up a Forum under the “Education For Sustainable Development” Forums” or a new Forum category called "PeDaGoG Forums". For the latter, it can include more sub-forums under the "PeDaGoG Forums". If it is the latter, please let me know the "Subforums" titles that you want. I think this can be a great base for the "PeDaGoG" group to discuss online. Through it, more people across the world will get to know "PeDaGoG" as well. I am looking forward to hearing from your ideas. For the website, please visit https://www.pedagogism.com About me, please visit https://www.yuxinhou.com If you have any issues with viewing the website or other questions, thanks for letting me know.

Preliminary Report - Southeast Asian Grassroots Response to COVID-19
by Honey Tabiola 19 Jun '20

19 Jun '20

Dear partners, colleagues, friends, We respectfully share with you our preliminary report on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to grassroots and marginalized communities across the Southeast Asian region and their valuable responses and initiatives. Attached is the file but you can also download the report for free through this link: https://cids.up.edu.ph/covid19portal/altdev-sea-grassroots-covid19-response… *A Preliminary Report on Southeast Asian Community and Grassroots Responses in COVID-19 Times (29 May 2020)* Eduardo C. Tadem, Ananeza P. Aban, Karl Arvin F. Hapal, Venarica B. Papa, Nathaniel P. Candelaria, Honey B. Tabiola, and Jose Monfred C. Sy ABSTRACT: As the whole world reels under the impact of the unprecedented health crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been little attention on its effect on grassroots communities and marginalized sectors. This is particularly important given the haphazard and erratic manner of official measures to contain the contagion which are being implemented in a situation where health systems face serious challenges in terms of readiness to confront a crisis of this proportions. While national reports are extensively documented and macro numbers are often reported, there is a need to look more closely at underprivileged sectors and communities. This preliminary report documents what marginalized communities in Southeast Asia are engaging in and how they respond to the pandemic. Results are varied, conditioned on the location, existence of community and sectoral organizations, and levels of social solidarity and collective consciousness. Thank you so much. On behalf of UP CIDS AltDev, Hans Tabiola Junior Research Analyst

Dear friends and colleagues, Greetings from the Philippines! We hope that you remain safe in these uncertain times. I am Nathaniel Candelaria, one of the program staff of the University of the Philippines Center for Integrative and Development Studies Program on Alternative Development (AltDev Program). The AltDev program was introduced earlier to the loop by one of my colleagues. On behalf of the AltDev Program, I would like to share with everyone our newest publication: UP CIDS Public Policy Monograph The Game of the Great Powers: Rizal on Imperialism<https://drive.google.com/file/d/16NH1WvzLXqvX5V5JPqgzg8ldQSC09F2z/view> George Aseniero Program on Alternative Development Short link: bit.ly/rizalonimperialism<http://bit.ly/rizalonimperialism> Download link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16NH1WvzLXqvX5V5JPqgzg8ldQSC09F2z/view UP CIDS Public Policy Monograph The Future Has an Ancient Heart: In Search of Our Antiguas Buenas Calidades<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AOtj97-2CoEIFFTWS587e1DESd57UkQf/view> Floro C.

Rizal. Dr. Rizal was one of the heroes who fought for our country's freedom against the Spanish colonization through his critical essays and publications against the abuses of the colonizers against Filipinos during the 19th century. Aside from his critical essays against Spain, Dr. Rizal was also known for his keen analysis of geopolitical events during the 19th Century. These publications further explore the thought of one of our heroes. Thank you very much and stay safe. Regards, Nathaniel
