Equity Writing Course
Equity Writing by the Free Skule
This is an on-going course - as long as there are learner-teachers, it will continue to be taught.
This is a course to develop your personal understanding of equity issues within and related to Canada, as well as your writing, and presentation skills.
We will spend two weeks on each subject - subjects range from non-violent action, to 'what's the difference between colonialism, neocolonialism, post-colonialism, and imperialism', to missing and murdered indigenous women of Vancouver.
The first class of each topic will include reading excerpts from prominent equity writers such as bell hooks, michael foucault, sherene razack, george dei, gurpreet singh johal, jean swanson, and many more. And discussing them as a group.
Then, each learner-teacher will be asked before the next class to write a personal reflection piece on the subject - incorporating ideas from the readings. We will edit one anothers' pieces, and many re-write them. The extent of the writing process will be determined by the will and want of the learner-teachers.
In every 5th and 6th class (so after 2 subjects), we, as a class, will determine how we would like to spread our knowledge to the rest of the city, and actually do so: do we want to produce a zine? Write out our thoughts in chalk all along the city streets? Write letters to government officials demanding change based on what we know? The possibilities are endless, and I look forward to exploring them with you!
This course is very focused on: WHAT? SO WHAT? NOW WHAT?
Courses offered every Sunday - Refer to the schedule or email for time and location.
