Commons and Libertarian Pedagogies (with Alekos Pantazis)
March 4, 2022 from Anarchist Pedagogies Network
This talk examines and utilizes the experience of Commons-based communities for the benefit of educational commons and anarchist pedagogies. The commons is a triad consisting of a resource, a community, and the management rules that the community forms in order to co-create and co-manage this resource (Bollier, 2014). Commons can be seen as peer to peer horizontal human relational dynamics and as a process of political struggle against enclosures (e.g. statized or corporatized enclosures in education) on the vision of collective self-determination and autonomy.

What My Kids Say About Their “Let Grow” Childhood
March 3, 2022 from Let Grow
I sometimes messed up as a dad. And part of seeing my kids (mostly) grown up is realizing that I can’t go back in time and make better parenting choices.
Moving my son from the “fun” soccer team that he loved into the “travel” soccer team that he hated? I can’t take it back. Losing my temper and yelling? I can’t erase history. Being (almost) totally unprepared for how quickly screen technology would change? I don’t get a do-over on cell phones. Maybe you, too, have a few parenting mistakes and regrets. But what about all those things that we get right?
Novelty + Uncertainty + Emotion
March 3, 2022 from Notes on Adventure
What makes an adventure? Are adventures necessarily risky or perilous—so extreme sports qualify, but taking a different route home from work doesn’t? Must adventures involve physical challenge or long-term travel—so a kayaking expedition counts, but not a silent meditation retreat?

Winter, war, time to ourselves and getting our partners on board
March 2, 2022 from Radical Acts
Gosh it’s been a week, and I did think hard about not mentioning the current state of the world, but then I realised I had a few things to say about war, in general, and how we talk to our children about it. So then I wrote a bit about why I had not spoken to my children about Russia’s attack on Ukraine, after which my husband came home with the children and said they’d talked about the war - he had been talking to his dad about it, they asked questions, and he answered.

How Re-invention Supports Education with Mia Munro
February 28, 2022 from A New Paradigm of Education
Re-invention is a process that one cannot push, control or command through mindset alone. It involves letting go of old paradigms, embracing new constructs and developing a new heart-set that challenges most. Leaders are in dire need of this deeper conscious transitional pathway.
School Revolt - Give Space Kids Build Kommunity (A Conversation with Hamilton Carter)
February 27, 2022 from Anarchist Pedagogies Network
Can kids build and contribute to their community? The answer is yes, but only if they’re actually in their community. This half to one hour webinar will walk (snark) through the strategies we’ve had success with for getting kids independently out into their communities, and what’s happened as a result. The hurdles we encountered included both preparing kids to move around and engage on their own, as well as preparing the community to accept their presence.
