Dear Colleagues,

I have been a member of PeDAGog for a year or two, but wasn't getting emails until Pallavi helped me get linked up. What a wonderful group engaged in interesting things!

I wanted to bring to your attention an organization I helped found called The Alternatives Project, along with a group of progressive academics, civil society activists, and union members. We have a wonderful Statement (in multiple languages) we would like to invite you to sign and circulate. To date it has been signed by over 400 educators/activists from all over the world.

By way of introducing my work, you might be interested in a short piece I did for Evonomics (standing for evolutionary economics). It begins with a critique of mainstream economics and quantitative research methods and finishes with a discussion of the many alternatives of practice out there, including GTA.

In solidarity,
