Agile Learning Centers

This week has been all about the writing.  After getting over the hurdle of my first History paper, and treading water by preparing myself just enough for my classes (readings…).  I was so stressed out last week […]

This has been a week of stress about writing papers and shifting from a mentality of inspiration and reading to a production and assessment mentality.  The Spring Semester is coming to a close but I feel like I’m […]

Today we spent most of the class discussing issues around the move towards a more robust conception of ‘Black Studies’, as a response to the transcript I made of Kemuel’s talk at the Black Student Network […]

This week was most notable for how many things I did in service to others.  I received an email from Alex Patz about needing help unpacking/tidying up after their move and decided to help out.  It was mutually […]

This week I had prepared for class by having conducted two interviews and finishing the transcription process.  I’d sent these to Comitas the night before and it seems that he only got to glance at them.  Still […]

This Op-Ed, which will be printed in TCPublicSpace’s April edition, started out as an assignment for my U.S. Education Policy in the Historical Context class with Ansley Erickson.  However, it is less history […]

This was a big week for me.  Turned 34.  Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 34? Turns out: Yes.  Best B’day ever.  Breakfast Rave with the ALC community, then ALC day with a guest, then […]

This week we spent most of the time discussing the papers and projects that people have been developing.  The notes that I took were limited and the Q’s a noted show me pulling in the thoughts from outside of the […]

It’s been an intense week of reading and thinking academically.  I’m in full swing, making connections between all of my studies and bringing them to bear on my reading of the Chris Emdin book #ForWhiteFolks.  I […]

This week I became more pre-occupied during the class about how my project would take form as an ethnography, rather than a historical piece.!–more–

Q: Interviews of students to see how they build their […]

This week was so busy with things that I have failed to document it properly.  I was really feeling the Bern on Thursday in the South Bronx, and Wednesday’s ALC day was one of the best I’ve ever had, yet […]

[I made lots of notes this week.  It was a good week.  My ideas were free-flowing.]

Q: Clarify Segments and Sections?

How does Eric Williams concept of the legacy of structures, political and […]

It was always going to be a crazy busy week after returning from PES.  I think I coped pretty well, but now I really am feeling a desire to sequester myself away to a quiet corner of a library and get in deep.  So […]

This essay was written on the classic text by Jean Jacques Rousseau – “Emile or On Education”. This seems to be the origin of a lot of the arguments for self-directed learning and also the source of their […]

This week I was recovering from my trip to PES/Toronto, so I did not make any offerings for the day (Offerings must be made on Sundays, when I was on a bus and pre-occupied).  There was still magic throughout the […]

My note taking style has developed.  Now I am taking notes during the lecture for use when listening to the audio tapes.  It can help me edit the sections, label them and as a listener watch out for certain […]

A busy week that was supposed to be a catch up week – Spring Break.  What Break? Had a lovely chat with my Dad, finished reading a bunch of texts for Anthropology study, Travelled to Toronto and was SUPER […]
