Overview of May 27 Classes, and Call-Out For Saturday

A great day of classes yesterday! Thanks to Jo, Ian, and Dix for teaching-learning!
Reminder to the human rights class, you have an assignment: write up a phrase, a few sentences, or a page, applying a human rights framework to issues that affect you / your activism work.

On Saturday, June 2nd, is the really really free market in High Park. We'd love to bring some library books, some flyers, and hold a class or two. We need volunteers, so if you can make it, please contact us - we'd love the help!!!!

A sadder note: apparently free skule is threatening to someone (just as any collective action is threatening to any bully), and our facebook group has mysteriously been taken down. So, we made a facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/TorontoFreeSkule - please like it as another way to stay updated.

peace, love, and learning.

Equity and Writing Assignment Reminder

For the first class, which will start this Sunday 3-5pm, write a short piece (1-2 pages) on the following question:
"who are you in relation to the rest of the world?"

we will share in this question, as well as explore definitions of concepts including: colonialism, neo/post colonialism, imperialism, hegemony, formal equality vs. substantive equity, etc.
first we need to build our language toolbox!
