Seeking Praxis: December 2011

http://lornaprescott.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

A space for reflection on theory and practice. Friday, 2 December 2011. In September I enrolled on a 12 week evening class at the Midlands Arts Centre. Called Talk Film. The course is led by Michael Clifford. Bikefilm), a BAFTA Award winning Director. One of Michael's most recent projects has been to make a no-budget film, Turbulence.

A housing blog on people not property. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Newer posts →. June 25, 2015. What do Ed Miliband’s Labour party and the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood have in common? Part of their dramatic failures was down to the limitations of embracing community organising as a strategy for winning elections and as a model for exercising power.

Telling the stories of creative pathways for learning, working, and living in the 21st century! Job Amaro: “The One Who Liked to Figure Out How and Why Things Happened”. He’s 21 years old, and I can honestly say that he is one of the most amazing and resilient people I have met on my journey thus far. Job is a perfect example of a talented autodidact who is facing challenges in the higher education system, but has still managed to foster his love of learning. Job showed me around DC after our interview!
