Fwd: NEWS (Announcements)
Dear colleagues, some of the links below, esp. the last one, may be of use, ashish -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: NEWS (Announcements) Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2021 20:41:49 +0000 From: Great Transition Network <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: Great Transition Network <[email protected]> A new reply has been posted on the Great Transition Network From Paul Raskin [[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>] ---------------------------------------------------------- Dear GTN Colleagues, Many thanks to all who contributed to the uncommonly rich and provocative exchange on the Anthropocene. As you may know, the entire discussion is posted on the GTN site here <https://greattransition.org/gtn-discussions/interrogating-the-anthropocene-truth-and-fallacy> . In addition, we have assembled a representative subset of comments into a public GTI Forum now on our homepage <https://greattransition.org/> . Please spread the word. Our next discussion will be “the pedagogy of transition,” a theme that I hope will inspire the educators among you to share your experiences with innovative teaching and curriculum development. Stephen Sterling’s opening essay, “Educating for the Future We Want,” will set the table. I’ll kick this off March 1. On another front, I’d like to again draw your attention to the important new volume /The New Systems Reader/ <https://democracycollaborative.org/newsystemsreader> , co-edited by GTN stalwart Gus Speth. It assembles a diverse collection of perspectives on the contours of a better system, including contributions from several GTN colleagues (disclosure: I’m one of them). Speaking of pedagogy, a downloadable study guide <https://thenextsystem.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/2020-10/The-New-Systems-Reader-Guide-v2_0.pdf> helps make the Reader an invaluable teaching resource. Onward, Paul ---------------------------------------------------------- To submit a comment for this GTN discussion, click reply or send it to [email protected]. /Expect a delay between the submission and posting./ You can review the discussion here <https://greattransition.org/announcements/news#3373>, where you can also submit your comment by replying to any previously posted comment.
