Hi ECE folks :). While I've been working on my blog for quite some time, I've never really shared it publicly. So here it is! If you're interested how pedagogy becomes practice, if you're interested in how the same pedagogy can look extremely different in its application, depending on the context, life experiences, and relational positionality of those involved, you might like my blog.

Practice indexicals are the powerful symptoms of geography. More recently, multiple groups are trying to glide and gloss over the gremlins of the social gradient in an over-appeal to virtue revival as team changing and game changing; forms of relational depth solidarity that largely muzzle decent explanations and tend to purify energy rising in domesticated science. These mood sentiments while appearing positive and affirmative in academia, shore up resonance versions of normative attitudes that simply do not tackle the beyond the microscope of individuals and families, and, in that sense, a 'hermeneutics of suspicion' ought to be applied in the ways our traditional ways foreclose multi-pronged analyses of largely capitalist functional rationality. 'To have to exercise power means to be able - in different degrees - to influence, use, determine, occupy or even seal off the space of reasons for others' (Rainer Forst 2017, p. 42). There is much at stake in the educative spheres and the gig academy and how it shapes semblance horizons of possibility, within state recognition and in international politics and whose interests are being served much more than others.

Structured literacy for all!

Children's behavior can lead to feelings of love and joy, and also to frustration, incompetence, and despair. In this recent workshop held to students at Atlantic International University, I provided tips for using Kathryn J. Kvols' Montessori-aligned strategies to help redirect children's behavior in peaceful, respectful ways that help children assume responsibility and develop intrinsic motivation, while also fostering cooperative, close relationships with others, including their parents and caregivers.
