Dear Ashis, dear Brando, dear all
I gave may feedback from the beginning of this network (February 2020), then Brandon circulated the new mailing list and suggested to present us using the Pedagog Pad
I presented myself in the pad, but in five months this network rise up in the world facing the "cruel pedagogy of virus" (Souza Santos), on the other side it is not easy to follow a flow of mails among hundred of mails we receive daily.
I'm a geographer, I started teaching environmental conflicts in the courses of social geography.
In the pedagogy of geography learning open air in the real place were people live are key elements, especially to maintain the curiosity to discover changes in territories beyond the eras of colonial geographical discoveries.
At the moment I'm teaching Agroecology, Environmental policies, Environmental Impact Assessment, Participatory GIS, Environmental conflict and climate justice.
I coordinated a laboratory about the use of geographical information in empowerment processes. I coordinated a research group working in alternative to development and in a construction of a post oil landscape but with a strong limitation by neoliberal conditions of work. I'm the only member with tenure at the university, as associate professor, and all my group is under very bad work conditions, temporary short contracts, in a very poor research environment typical of italian Academy.
At the same time I circulated with a mail of 9 of February some ideas for a international master degree on Climate Change Diversity Cooperation - Sustainable Territorial Development - (CDF - STeDe).
I'm from Padova University one of the oldest of the world, we make 800 years in 2022; our university graduated the first woman in the world in 1678 (Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia in philosophy), we can not just to remember past but we should accept the challenge to maintain university as common public good avoiding the neoliberal narration of university far from reality unable to prepare youth ready to enter the capital machine.
So I'm very happy to see in 5 months of life the growing of this network and to meet you wednesday 8 of July.
See you soon
Massimo
