[PeDAGoG] Stimulating points ... and some additional reflections (and points for 8th July meeting)

Sun Jul 5 19:39:35 CEST 2020

Very well said, Ashish -- looking forward to discussing all these things on
Wednesday. (For those who haven't registered yet, do register here:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrd-ugpj0pHNZzsKmYwGZAMgPUkRbpnDOO
)

I would like to weave together what Ashish said in the first half of his
email about different ways of learning and knowing and with what Ashish
wrote at the end about formal degree attainment and the inclusivity of
PeDAGoG. In my personal opinion, one of the most important pieces of a
radical pedagogy is to decolonize our minds of the notion that institutions
of formal education and the narrow pathways of degree attainment hold the
greatest claims to knowing and learning. Oftentimes, it is quite the
contrary! Indeed, much of the inequality of the world today is created and
reproduced by the belief the "educated" are the anointed and the
"uneducated" are too ignorant to manage their own affairs. I exaggerate,
but only slightly.

In essence, I take PeDAGoG to be inclusive to "non-scholars" not because we
are "open to people at all rungs of the academic ladder," but because we
reject the preeminence of such a ladder, if we consider it to be a ladder
at all. Given that the majority of members here do hold academic positions,
I think such a perspective is important to make PeDAGoG a fully inclusive
space in which all members are respected for their contributions, no matter
their educational attainment.

I'd like to express to anyone who has felt unsure about belonging here: You
are welcome here and we are happy that you are here with us. If there's
anything I can do to make this space more inclusive (including other
dimensions apart from academic qualifications), please message me to let me
know.
