Join us on Thursday, October 27th, 5-7pm via ZOOM for a reflection session in which we look at how we can integrate this content in the K-12 classroom. It will be based on the recordings of two previous events, featuring Daniel Bryan, Executive Director of Pachaysana Institute:
- Re-storying All Our Relations: A puppet-making workshop on epistemic justice (**ALL 3 VIDEOS ARE PREREQUISITE FOR THURSDAY SESSION)
- Video 1
- Video 2 (directions for activity 4:48-15:15 portion)
- Video 3 (example of completed activity)
(in person, Tuesday, October 25th, 11 AM - 1 PM at the Barnett Center Collaboratory (141 Sullivant Hall) for a puppet-making workshop on epistemic justice, featuring Daniel Bryan, Executive Director of Pachaysana Institute)
What knowledge does our world value? What does it mean “to know” something? In our formal education spaces, non-Western ways of thinking and being have been excluded, devalued, and invisiblized. This workshop asks us to collectively imagine what epistemic justice would look like in our lived realities. To do so, we will practice a puppet-making methodology developed between the Pachaysana Institute and the Andean community of Pintag in Ecuador.
- Embodying "Unlearning": A theatre and social change workshop (**WATCHING RECORDING IS A PREREQUISITE FOR THURSDAY SESSION**)
(in person, Wednesday, October 26th, 11 AM - 1 PM at the Barnett Center Collaboratory, 141 Sullivant Hall)
How do we unlearn the dominant stories of oppression, colonialism, and modernity? Stories are how we make sense of who we are and who we want to become. Yet, our bodies and minds have become accustomed to living stories founded on oppression, colonialism, and modernity.
Following the Re-storying All Our Relations: A puppet-making workshop on epistemic justice, this second session will explore Pachaysana Institute’s unlearning methods, using theatre-based activities to identify and unlearn unjust stories that have shaped our world and bodies.
About the Our Unlearning Hour workshop
This Zoom session will follow two events, for which recordings will be posted; participants must watch these recordings in order to participate in the Unlearning Hour.
The first hour will serve as a time to ask questions, join in discussion and unpack any concepts you make still want to explore. The second hour, led by Patricia Vocal, will explore different ways in which K-12 educators can add these ideas into their own classrooms.
