Dear PeDAGoG colleagues,
PFA the meeting notes from our call on 6th June.
The work to be taken up in the next few months has been divided into sub
working groups, as mentioned in the notes.
In case you would like to contribute to any of these sub groups, then you
can connect with the group members latest by 18th June.
Also adding the link to the Google Doc currently being worked upon by these
groups (same as the meeting notes for now):

>> 3. The lesson from today is that everyone is welcome to initiate an

>> go ahead and suggest things!
>>
>> *Some immediate points on the next steps: *
>>
>> 1. STRUCTURE AND ORGANISING
>>
>>
>> - Organising the communication and sharing in the PEDAGOG space so
>> that material is accessible and not overwhelming the list
>> - social-media presence?
>> - Series of events where we share the approaches we are taking -
>> webinar series from PEDAGOG?
>> - Think about what gaps (geographical, thematic) exist and could be
>> filled (e.g., currently lack of members from Africa)?
>> - Creating a map of our expertise - create a visual tool with themes
>> that concern this group - overlapping circles?
>> - Can some of us find institutional backing, funds?
>>
>>
>> 1. 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
>>
>>
>> 1. 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 want in
>> society, the kind of academics/learning/teaching we feel is 'right', and
>> the ethics for our own internal functioning of 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
