Progressive education is a world-building project rooted in the radical hope that schools can become something fit for human beings.
This summer, HRP is reading Pedagogies of Collapse: A Hopeful Education for the End of the World As We Know It, by Ginie Servant-Miklos, and we’re inviting you to join us. Visit humanrestorationproject.org/book-club to sign up for our summer book club, where we’ll meet to discuss the ideas and implications of Pedagogies of Collapse and be joined by the author for a Q&A on July 31. The book is available on Open Access through Bloomsbury — I’ll include a link in the show notes.
The HRP team has been on the road for 3 of the last 4 weeks. At the end of April, we were on the ground working with Third Coast Learning Collaborative schools in Michigan. Last week, we were in Boston for school visits, meeting with folks at the Boston Museum of Science about an upcoming grant partnership, and I went to prison with Jennifer Berkshire to sit in on her journalism class at MCI-Shirley. At the time of recording, I’m headed to Ohio to present student listening reports to school districts who held focus groups this year based around student agency.
This is all to say I don’t have an epic 90-minute conversation or hour-long topical deep dive for you this week — but what I will offer is an audio reading of the opening piece from our revised Progressive Education Primer. It’s called We Are Worldbuilders. See you in two weeks!
