STOP DESIGN THINKING - Save yourselves from design thinkers
by Jinan K B 23 Jun '23

23 Jun '23

STOP DESIGN THINKING I have uploaded a paper at Academia and medium about how to understand the modern mindset by examining the term design thinking. Join me to discuss this https://www.academia.edu/s/b416e3384b or you can read about the same at https://jinankb.medium.com/stop-design-thinking-c6ffc24148d1 One doesn’t require an anthropologist, sociologist, psychologist, and least of all a cognitive scientist to understand the modern mindset. Just a bit of common sense (the most uncommon in modernity which is what schooling takes away) will do. A proper examination of the term ‘design thinking’ will do. How they bring in two totally diverse phenomena together in words and pretend the job is done. This is the same drama with first fragmenting knowledge into various subjects and making the pretense of integrating all by just creating a few terms- multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, etc… It is interesting another nature of the modern mindset which can be called an ‘afterthought’. This means first destroy, make this as default and then pretend for the first time a solution is provided. Take the usage ‘out of the box thinking. A much-celebrated usage…. The stupidity of the modern mindset is that they are not asking why are you in the box in the first place. Who put us in? So, our default setting is in the box, fragmented……. And instead of trying to find the root cause, a temporary solution is offered.

26 Apr '23

save the date and register to join! Hello friends, It’s coming! The 3rd Reimagining Education Conference will take place online from April 27th - 30th. This is your invitation to co-create a world where many worlds exist, weave nourishing relationships, and tap into deep imagination. Together, we’re re-imagining what learning can be. We’re embodying new forms of higher education, a wider education. REGISTRATION IS LIVE! (https://gien2tio.paperform.co/) We feel clear that deepening relationships is one of the most important ingredients in this event. Therefore, we are scheming even more ways to foster meaningful interactions during the conference. In addition to compelling discussions, workshops and panels, this year you’re invited to: * Participate in the Dream Cafe - These interactive sessions will be a chance to offer support and feedback to people in the community who are just beginning or still imagining how to bring a project to life. * Join a Crew - This is something new we’re experimenting with. You’ll be connected to a small group that together can get to know one another better and really go deep - sharing reflections, debriefing each day, and having some shared reference points for weaving the experience together. * Listen to (or give!) Butterfly Talks - Each day we’ll have a series of 7-min ‘lightning’-style talks on themes related to reimagining education. They’re part of our effort to magnify the voices and efforts coming real projects in motion around the world. We have a truly incredible lineup of folks already preparing the space and we are actively welcoming more educators, unlearners, artists, youth, rebels, and dreamers to get involved! If there’s someone you think should to be woven into this event let us know by replying to this email. 💌 As always this event is offered in the spirit of the gift economy with plenty of ways to contribute monetarily and beyond.

Economics for Emancipation curriculum is here!
by nati 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Greetings - I thought the group would be interested in this announcement and no-cost curriculum about Economics and alternatives! A free introductory curriculum on capitalism, solidarity, & how we get free *Economics for Emancipation is here! * A free introductory curriculum on capitalism, solidarity, & how we get free [image: An illustrated graphic with ''Economics for Emancipation'' against a green star backsplash on the top right corner. On the left are four rounded mounds next to each other in yellow green, green, red-orange, and black. From left to right,, there are drawings of a person shouting into a speaker amplifier, a person reading to a group of four children, a clock. Next to those colored mounds is a mountain range with four scenes happening on top of it: a person holding up a rake, a person in a wheelchair, a dog walking, and a person carrying a child.] Hello, The Center for Economic Democracy is excited to launch *Economics for Emancipation (E4E)*, a seven-module introductory curriculum that offers a deep critical dive into the current political economic system, exploration of alternative economic systems, and dynamic tools to dream and build the economy that centers care, relationship, and liberation. *WHAT?* E4E has been shaped by decades of dialogue between progressive economists, grassroots organizers, and rank & file union workers; we hope it will strengthen your analysis, fuel your spirit and connect you to efforts challenging this economic system at its root. Our portal offers free access to the online curriculum materials, which includes 25+ self-guided video lessons, an interactive workbook, and a facilitator guide for the workshops. [image: A giphy of of an animation that ends with the text ''How does it feel to be alive in the solidarity economy?''] <https://click.everyaction.com/k/60186453/396288011/1975050996?nvep=ew0KICAi…> *WHO?* This course was created using a popular education approach that is accessible to organizers, educators, activists, and community members. If you are a member or leader of a grassroots or movement organization, this curriculum was designed to support your organizing work in your community. We recommend that you gather a group of up to 25 people with a lead educator/facilitator to dive into the study and praxis of our course. Individuals can also take the course alone with the videos and interactive workbook. *Visit our site* <https://click.everyaction.com/k/60186454/396288012/-787506205?nvep=ew0KICAi…> *WHY?* COVID has surfaced and emphasized the many failures of our current economic system in meeting the needs of people and the planet. It has also surfaced our ability to create structures of support and solidarity. We have a responsibility as organizers and educators in US-based social movements to bring our people in, move slower and study together. Not because we stop fighting the bad, but because in studying we draw inspiration from ancestors who had similar fights over the centuries and learn from their experiences. We become more strategic thinkers and deepen our analysis of social problems and the possible routes to freedom. *OUR STORY * The current version of this course is the result of many years of work first led by the Center for Popular Economics (CPE) – a collective which was founded in 1979 by radical (or heterodox) economists out of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. They ran a yearly “Summer Institute” for union organizers in New England. Since 2019, CPE has partnered with the Center for Economic Democracy (CED) to update and redesign its curriculum into “Economics for Emancipation” (E4E). During the 2020 COVID crisis, CPE and CED worked to adapt E4E for virtual learning geared towards regional cohorts of just transition and social justice organizers, and thus was born this offering. *ABOUT CENTER FOR ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY* The Center for Economic Democracy (CED) <https://click.everyaction.com/k/60186455/396288013/1404532733?nvep=ew0KICAi…> is a US social movement building organization, growing capacity in our communities to transition from capitalism into a just, sustainable, and democratic economy. Based in Boston, CED supports local racial and economic justice initiatives like the Boston Ujima Project, Coalition for Worker Ownership and Power (COWOP), the Solidarity Economy Initiative and The Better Budget Alliance, while offering training and technical assistance for economic democracy efforts across the US. *ABOUT CENTER FOR POPULAR ECONOMICS* The Center for Popular Economics is a nonprofit collective of political economists based in Amherst, MA out of the University of Massachusetts (UMass). Since our founding in 1979, thousands of people have participated in our workshops and Institutes. Our programs and publications demystify the economy and put useful economic tools in the hands of people fighting for social and economic justice. We examine root causes of economic inequality and injustice including systems of oppression based on race, class, gender, nation and ethnicity. We welcome your suggestions and questions. We would especially love to hear about how you plan to use this curriculum! Contact us at info(a)economics4emancipation.net. In solidarity, Sarah Wang, Education Programs & Research Manager Amrita Wassan, Senior Director of Programs Francisco Pérez, Senior Economist [image: Facebook] <https://click.everyaction.com/k/60186456/396288014/-352176660?nvep=ew0KICAi…> [image: Twitter] <https://click.everyaction.com/k/60186457/396288015/-547219553?nvep=ew0KICAi…> [image: Instagram] <https://click.everyaction.com/k/60186458/396288016/1859874697?nvep=ew0KICAi…> If you believe you received this message in error or wish to no longer receive email from us, please unsubscribe <https://secure.everyaction.com/p/8tA3UBrd2kOUQ5W0do5fXw2?unsubscribedata=K3…> .
