I am deeply grateful to have this tangled tale published by @PetarPjandric & @SpringerEdu: “Rewild my heart with pedagogies of love, kindness and the sun and moon” - doi.org/10.1007/s42438…

1/ 🧵

The pressing problems we face from wars to pandemics erupt against the less dramatic background of the mundane continued destruction of our planet as a habitable realm.

2/

All the while “EdTech solutionism” creates new problems as fast as it fixes old ones. Something in the urgency of the fix may be part of the problem. Are we too desperate to fill a hole in the world that we only see through a hole in ourselves?

3/

It may be that in order to truly escape our colonised and domesticated fates we need to rewild our thinking, to examine the emotional tones and waves that cause us to act as we do against our own interests and that of our planet.

It is against this backdrop dear reader that I wrote this piece for you. In it I will ask you to help me with a simple task: to rewild my heart with pedagogies of love, kindness and the sun and moon.

Although this conceptual piece is primarily about the act of writing itself - I also created some comic strip images to help illustrate the story

And some music - a Rumi inspired sci-fi about love, ego and absence - open.spotify.com/track/4VLxFFga…
