Past meetings & notes
A resource to conside: Graduate Seminar: Urgent Topics in Climate & Environmental Justice Education @ College of Education, University of Washington: "Working through perspectives of care, wellbeing, and equity, the participants in this graduate seminar will collectively inquire into how climate and environmental justice can be promoted through varied contexts of education. Over the term, we will explore topics, exemplars, and possibilities of interest and obligation to our learning community. We have chosen to make our collaborative activities public online in order to invite others into this learning experience with us. In the interest of helping cultivate broader awareness and engagement in these efforts, please make use of these resources as you would like."

From: Songs of School Abolition by Aaron Clarke, 2022:
How can we think revolution and abolition together?
Let’s talk about dangerous things
Provoking different conversations
How do we connect to the community?
Can we (ever) transform things in a comfortable way?
Politics of refusal: take a stand against
Activism
Disruption on multiple scales and temporalities
What is our memory? We have heroes, but we don’t inherit.
Consumption, accumulation, extraction
