> * Can some of us find institutional backing, funds?
>
> 2. PEDAGOGIC AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING ACTIVITIES:
>
> Potential to develop sub-groups on the following as a start:
>
> * Feminism and political ecology
> * Teaching exchange through zoom co-teaching
> * Collaborative journal article writing
> * Collaboration on Masters education and exchange and summer
> schools
> * Youth activist-research outside of mainstream academic structures
>
> 3. COLLECTIVE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF THE PEDAGOG NETWORK
>
> * Ethics and values of PeDAGoG
>
> We need a statement on these for the kinds of transformations we

> PeDAGoG as a network
>
> * Suggestion: Small group of volunteers to start a draft
>
> Three levels that might be important:
> 1. Ethics of the transformations we want in society - direction of
> the transformaiton
> 2. Ethics of our own teaching and learning spaces
> 3. Ethics of the PEDAGOG network itself - open, inclusive,
> non-hierarchical
> Keep in touch!
> Solidarity, Vasna, Brandon, Ashish, Julia
