That's rad! Doing so further supports your "circular theory" (if I can interpret it further), that no one explanation or theory will educate in isolation, we need a plethora of stories and theories and interpretations of those stories and theories (roots, trunk, branches, leaves, little squirrels living in cute nests) that all come together to illustrate the whole. <br />You asked for feedback, and while I know this will come together brilliantly here are some thoughts. I'd love to hear more about what institutional practical education would look like, also I was thinking it might be really powerful if you use one or two of your examples (eg. the telling of Canada's colonization, or "War on Crime" or generational trauma) and thread it throughout as you develop this piece. Your varied explanations of those would be really profound I think, especially used to illustrate your multiple kinds of education. Oh! also would love to hear your thoughts on how to begin "hard" conversations with children, and how to build this into education so that kids aren't having their first conversations about race, or sexuality, or power at 14... 14 is awkward and painful enough as it is :P. Lastly, for the word you were looking for what about simplistic? or self-fulfilling? <br />But yeah, great work! Keep at it! I miss you!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364975922727601155noreply@blogger.com
