Hi to all,
I agree with Ashish suggestion about devote time to "know each other".

Also, totally agree with the Marion's suggestion. I think it's crucial to include radical perspectives, like deschooling, antipedagogy, and "learning without education" perspectives that are getting increasingly more attention and networking in the past decade. Andrea's examples of Mushuk Away and Ecoversities are really good examples of that. I could include REEVO process as part of that weaving: https://reevo.wiki/Nosotrxs#en

Hope to talk to you soon.

Best, Franco.

Hi Everyone!
Thank you for the email and the iniciative and the call for everyone to participate. Apologies for so many emails, you can always go to Google groups and ask for less or any notification. 

I resonate a lot with Marion, I'm from Ecuador and my approach to education came from academy but now I'm un learning to live and to find other options for higher education. I'm part of ecoversities, a global network that is gathering people all around the world to respond to that call, reclaiming knowledge from our local surroundings, from indigenous perspectives, that now more than ever has a lot more sense. Also here in Ecuador there is Mushuk Away, a local weave that is working on alternatives to Education. As Latin, andean woman, mestiza, feminist, queer is something that moves me to find autonomy in my life, to deconstruct the system in me, "break it" and see what I can find to be more truthful to my path, to my territory and to Pachamama (mother earth) 

Also, this made more sense with the readings, the social theories and the academic life for me. 

So if more resonate also with Marion, let's make a group :). Super good suggestion, so we keep weaving and sharing. 

Hugs to all!

Hello everyone, I agree with Marion's suggestion ... PeDAGoG is about academic-activist collaboration, and should certainly encompass learning envirnoments outside the conventional classroom. this would also be relevant to Seema's earlier mail about not being an academic.

this leads me to also suggest that we spend some time in the beginning getting to know each other but also sharpening the objectives/focus of PeDAGoG, since we have not had a collective discussion on this ... and hten we can split into the 3 'rooms' as per Julia's suggestion below and modificatino as suggested by Marion. Does this make sense?

thanks,

ashish

Hi Marion, hi all,

 

Thanks for signing up!

As far as I am aware zoom will recognise your time zone and adjust it accordingly. 2pm GMT would be: 4pm in Brussels, 4pm Johannesburg, 3pm London, 7.30pm Delhi, 9am Quito, 7am Los Angeles.

 

Sure! My proposals were only suggestions and we can adjust to everyone’s interest. Depending on the number of participants we might also have more than three groups.

 

Best wishes,

Julia

Hello Everyone,

thank you Julia for this initiative!! I have registered via the link you have shared.

 

And sorry for sending another round mail, but I have two questions which might be relevant to others: firstly there seems to be a difference in timing for the meeting, since in this mail you wrote 2 pm, the link time table schedules 4pm? And, secondly, would there be any option to choose between the breakout groups? Since I am not linked with any academic environment, the only breakout session that would make sense for me to (actively) participate is probably session # 3.

 

And, just as an idea, if maybe in this session we could also take a look outside the classroom and/or institutionalized educational frameworks and discuss about how we can attempt decolonizing our approaches, concepts and research methodologies towards a different interpretation of pedagogy altogether? Not sure if this resonates with anyone? Or if this session was going to lead us into this direction anyway?

 

Best regards, and stay well and safe!

 

Marion

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:

 

Do let me know your thoughts or comments on this.

Looking forward to getting to know many new faces on 8 July.

 

Warm wishes,

Julia
