robertogreco“I think we underestimate how important touch actually is in our social interaction… Human touch is key to our survival.” [video]
If I let myself, I get irritated several times a week when something that’s been said in the humanities is “DISCOVERED” by the science people. Sometimes by the social science people. But. mostly by the science people.
And when I look at their bibliographies, I see what disciplinarity does. And obscures.
Sure, anxieties over status and FUNDING have led many humanists to read outside the humanities to be taken seriously—WE WILL NEVER BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, THAT’S THE WRONG AIM!
Dunno.
Sure, there’s lots of stuff I don’t understand when I read outside the humanities. Just as there’s plenty of stuff I don’t get within the humanities.
I simply try to figure out where ideas have circulated, and see if I can learn from those spaces and thinkers.”]]>keguromacharia interdisciplinary multidisciplinary transdisciplinary antidisciplinary 2020 humanities science socialsciences disciplinarity touch senseshttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:1258bdc1807d/yasmina on Twitter: "shifting from inter-disciplinary to anti-disciplinary has felt good" / Twitter2020-09-04T06:51:59+00:00

Utopia School [http://www.utopiaschool.org/ ]
Utopia School is an ongoing project that shares information about both failed and successful utopian projects and work towards new ones. For us, utopias are those spaces and initiatives that re-imagine the world in some crucial way. The school engages and connects people through urgent conversations, with the goal of exploring, archiving and distributing collective knowledge throughout this multi-city project.

"Hi, welcome to this place.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering where to start! Try sifting through some links on our site, especially our resources, Github Organization, and Google Drive.
If you’re tired of reading docs and this website in general, we’d highly recommend you join our lively community in real time chat. We’re using Slack for this. It’s great.
When you enter the chat, you’ll be dumped in a channel called #_landing_pad. This channel is muted by default so that any channels you join feel fully voluntary.
We’ve recently started a system where we append any ”Learning Gardens”-related channels with an underscore (_), so it’s easy to tell which channels are meta (e.g. #_help), and which are related to actual learning groups (e.g. #cybernetics).
Everything is up for revision." ]]]>education learninggardens learningnetworks networks slack aldgdp artschools learning howwlearn sfsh self-directed self-directedlearning empowerment unschooling deschooling decentralization transparency accessibility bookclubs readinggroups utopiaschool apatternlanguage christopheralexander pedagogy pedagogyplaylab cyberneticsclub emulatingintelligence pixellab games gaming videogames mondays creativity multidisciplinary crossdisciplinary interdisciplinary ai artificialintelligence distributed online web socialmedia édouardurcades artschoolhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:c5efe958e4b2/école de Hogbonou2016-12-20T19:01:41+00:00

robertogrecoWhat remains of primary importance to me […] is the sense that we were connecting to a much larger enterprise than trying to advance our artistic careers, or to make art for art’s sake. It was precisely our commitment to the activist politics of women’s liberation, to a burgeoning theory and practice of feminism, and to a larger conversation about community, collectivity and radical history, which has given me lasting connections to people and a continuing sense of being part of a cultural and political resistance, however fragmentary the expression of this may be in my life today.
Despite his own conflicts with the institute, Blau holds a similar perspective: “During the time I was there (I cannot speak for it now), it was—like the Bauhaus or Black Mountain—not only a school but very much what Disney wanted, a community of the arts, in which students and teachers trained together, performed together, constructed ‘environments’ together and even somehow managed—where the particular work was not of a communal nature—to leave each other alone.”
CalArts today is a school rather than an anti-school, with grades (low pass/pass/high pass), a timetable for graduation, and for the first time in its history, a syllabus in every classroom. Yet an investment in radical pedagogy persists, with a loose consensus that the educational situations that work best often involve field trips and social outreach, project-based learning, and “mentoring” as opposed to “teaching.” The notion that faculty are to treat students as artists and colleagues prevails, with its attendant benefits and difficulties. The question of what form the delivery of content should take is a live one. Time and space are continually contested, and an openness to what might be places constant pressure on what is.
Just last year, the institute carved out a “commons” time from the heavily scheduled individual school curricula in which students can come together across disciplines to collaborate—in some sense, a return to its origins. Although, to paraphrase Marcuse, an art school can only be truly free in a free society—i.e., art becomes life only when life is also opened up to creative change—the promise of this commingling endures. Indeed, the Gesamtkunstwerk that preserves a vision of emancipated social life in times of political conservatism holds even greater possibilities in our own era of renewed resistance and collective action."]]>calarts cv history education 1960s 1970s robertfitzpatrick roydisney waltdisney robertcorrigan mariosalvo herbertblau fluxus judithadler melpowell janetsarbanes mauricestein feminism freedom tcsnmy lcproject openstudioproject alisonknowles petervanriper allankaprow dickhiggins emmettwilliams jamestenney namjunepaik owensmith judychicagomiriamschapiro johnbaldessari herbertmarcuse art arteducation radicalism communes communalism interdisciplinary crosspollination crossdisciplinary transdisciplinary multidisciplinary experimentation blackmountaincollege bmc pedagogy teaching howweteach deschooling capitalism unschooling power control democracy anti-teaching anti-schools artschools altgdp activism community relationships bauhaus collectivism society grades grading schedules timelines syllabus projectbasedlearning 2014 1969 1970 1971 1972 pbl radicalpedagogy artschool syllabihttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:909ba3f359b3/grow your own worlds [FoAM]2014-07-02T23:35:49+00:00

robertogrecoNuVu is a full-time magnet innovation center for middle and high school students. NuVu’s pedagogy is based on the architectural Studio model and geared around multi-disciplinary, collaborative projects. We basically teach students how to navigate the messiness of the creative process, from inception to completion.
No Courses: Instead, we have studios. Around 12 kids work closely with their 2 coaches on solving big (and small) open-ended problems.
No Subjects: Instead, everything is fused together. Students find themselves moving between a studio that requires them to design a telepresence robot to another that requires them to re-imagine Boston with a cable car system.
No Classrooms: Instead, we have an open space that changes all the time to adapt to the needs of every studio.
No One-Hour Schedule: Instead, students spend two weeks from 9-3 solving one problem.
No Grades: Instead, we have portfolios that document students’ design decisions and show their final products.
But can anyone visualize this happening in today’s public schools? Project-based learning programs like NuVu are not particularly common throughout the U.S., with notable exceptions like High Tech High and New Tech Network. Most K-12 classrooms in America are fairly new to project-based learning, or don’t offer it at all. Typically speaking, only the most elite schools in the wealthiest neighborhoods can afford to experiment with PBL.
NuVu got its start by partnering with Beaver County Day School in Brookline, Mass., an elite independent school attended by the sons and daughters of Harvard and MIT graduates, which is positioning itself as digitally-savvy and progressive institution. Notably, it was the first U.S. school to make it a requirement for students to take computer programming lessons.
NuVu’s program doesn’t come cheap. It costs $8,000 per student per trimester. The company offers scholarships, and to Arida’s credit, he’s looking for ways to involve students from public schools in the area by forging partnerships with neighboring public schools to make NuVu available as an elective.
But for most entrepreneurs, selling schools (particularly budget-strapped public schools) on incorporating PBL programs into their core curriculum is an ongoing challenge.
“We haven’t seen many of these project-based learning programs scale rapidly,” said Michael Staton, an investor at education-focused venture firm Learn Capital. “Partnering with schools is fine if you can figure out how to do that efficiently,” Staton added. “But most entrepreneurs have no idea.”
The crux of the problem, according to Staton, is that most schools are sticking to core subjects and the bell system, which doesn’t leave much time for exploratory projects. Outside of school, most students can only access project-based programs online and in their own time. The best known services are DIY.org, an instructional guide for budding makers, and the various project-based learn-to-code courses from Code.org, General Assembly, and Khan Academy. But most high schoolers would tell you that they’re already overwhelmed with juggling college admissions, after-school, clubs, volunteering and homework. Good luck adding another project to their plate."
The Tide Is Turning
To make PBL more mainstream, the change may need to come from within. There’s a movement afoot to make project-based learning an integral part of every child’s education. Organizations like P21 (Partnership for 21st Century Skills) and Buck Institute are helping to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs, businesses, teachers and state superintendents. P21 partners with representatives in 18 states, including Arizona, California, and Massachusetts, and provides teachers with tools and resources for project-based learning. In addition, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation habitually provides funding to PBL schools, particularly those that foster digital skills. These organizations’ aim is bring PBL programs into classrooms, rather than expecting students to participate in their free time.
Schools don’t need to follow NuVu’s model to the tee. In fact, this approach may seem radical, as students do not receive grades or formal examinations and the learning doesn’t happen in physical classrooms. But teachers can take inspiration from NuVu and the various interactive online courses. For instance, Muscatine High School in Iowa has found success with its G2 Global Generation Exponential Learning initiative. High schoolers learn math and engineering in classrooms and by making water purification systems, or building statistical models for new bus routes. Younger students at middle school research trash statistics, and participate in oral history projects.
Arida hopes that NuVu’s program will pave the way for ed-tech entrepreneurs to launch similar ventures in other states.
“We’re presenting a different way to think about education, he said. “Students are empowered to be creative, and actually execute on their ideas. Isn’t that the lesson we should be teaching our kids?”"]]>nuvu nuvustudio openstudiproject lcproject saeedarida grades grading projectbasedlearning schedules scheduling studioclassrooms interdisciplinary crossdisciplinary multidisciplinary transdisciplinary design designthinking 2014 learning education unschooling deschooling schools pblhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:1df5cb88d073/⟣ Projects ⟢ — ⟜ R a c h e l ⋅ S u s s m a n ⤀2014-04-22T19:05:36+00:00

robertogrecoThere is something of the artist in everyone, and the development of this talent, however small, carrying with it a severe discipline of its own, results in the student's becoming more and more sensitive to order in the world and within himself than he can ever possibly become through intellectual effort alone. (Adamic 1938:626)
Although he cautioned against the possible tyranny of the community, Rice eventually decided that some group activity would,
…help the individual be complete, aware of his relation to others. Wood chopping, road-mending, rolling the tennis courts, serving tea in the afternoon, and other tasks around the place help rub off individualistic corners and give people training in assuming responsibility. (Ibid, 1938:627)
…
"Rice soon discovered what he would later call the "three Alberses"--the teacher, the social being and the Prussian. The Prussian Albers decried the seeming lack of real leadership at the College and the free-wheeling, agenda-less, community-wide meetings. Rice noted later, "You can't talk to a German about liberty. You just waste your breath. They don't know what the hell you mean" (Duberman 1972:69)."
…
"The war years ushered in a different kind of Black Mountain; one where students, and at least some faculty members, started lobbying for more structure in learning, but yet more freedom outside the classroom. Lectures and recitations were starting to occur within the classroom, while cut-off blue jeans and nude sun bathing appeared outside. Influential faculty member Eric Bentley insisted to his colleagues: "I can't teach history if they're not prepared to do some grinding, memorizing, getting to know facts and dates and so on…" (Duberman 1972:198). Needless to say, with Albers and many of the original faculty still on board, faculty meetings were decisive and volatile.
Overshadowing this dissent, however, was a new program that was to highlight at least the public notion of a historical "saga" for the College, the summer institutes. Like much at Black Mountain, the summer institutes started more by chance than choice."
…
"The summer institutes grew throughout the 1940s to include notable talents in art, architecture, music and literature. And it is probably these institutes and the renown of the individuals in attendance that contributed most to Black Mountain's reputation as an art school."
…
The excitement and publicity generated by the summer sessions, in addition to a general higher education population explosion spurred by the G.I. Bill, put the Black Mountain College of the late 1940s on its healthiest economic footing yet.
Still, Black Mountain managed to avoid financial stability. Student turnover negated some of the volume gains. Faculty salaries rose substantially, but grants and endowments did not. Stephen Forbes, for example, who had always been counted on to supply money to the College in tough times, refused a request in 1949 because he was disenchanted with the new emphasis on arts education at the expense of general education. The ability to manage what money it had also did not increase at Black Mountain, although Josef Albers proposed a reorganization that would include administrators and an outside board of overseers. In the wake of arguments and recriminations about the financial situation and how to solve it, a majority (by one vote) of the faculty called for the resignation of Ted Dreier, the last remaining faculty member from the founding group. In protest, four other faculty members resigned--including Josef and Anni Albers. By selling off some of the campus acreage, the remaining faculty managed to save the College and retain its original mindset of freedom from outside boards and administrators, while setting the stage for yet another era in its history [Charles Olson].
…
"What Albers lacked in administrative ability, he compensated for in tenacity and focus. What Rice lacked in administrative ability, he balanced with action and ideas. However, when Olson couldn't manage the administrative function, he simply retreated. His idea about turning the successful summer institutes into a similar series of year-long institutes fell on deaf faculty ears. So he gave up trying to strengthen the regular program."
…
"The vast majority of former Black Mountain students can point to clear instances of lasting influence on the rest of their lives. Mostly, this seems to have occurred through association: with one or two faculty members who made a difference, with a "community" of fellow individuals who were essential resources to one another, or with a new area of endeavor such as painting or writing or farming. Black Mountain, apparently, was a place where association was encouraged. Perhaps this occurred through the relatively small number of people shouldered into an isolated valley, perhaps by a common dedication to the unconventional, or perhaps to the existence of ideals about learning and teaching. At any rate, the encouragement of association with people and with ideas was not the norm in higher education then, nor is it now. Clearly, it is possible to graduate from most colleges and universities today with little, if any, significant association with faculty, students or ideas.
But at Black Mountain, as at other experimental colleges, association could hardly be avoided. Engagement with people and ideas was paramount; activity was rampant. It was social, and it was educational. As Eric Bentley would remark:
Where, as at Black Mountain, there is a teacher to every three students the advantage is evident. . .a means to the most concentrated and lively interchange that any education could afford. Where the faculty are a separate world the students continue their high-school habit of avoiding study, boasting of idleness, and the like; at Black Mountain, on the other hand, diligence is de rigueur. (Bentley 1945:424)"
…
"Obviously, one has to wonder why the College did not survive. The times changed, of course. Black Mountain's communal nature suddenly looked like Communism to many. Students and faculty who were once content to be on the cutting edge got serious about being on the radical fringe. Other students and teachers of the time just wanted a situation where they could actualize the post-war dream of two cars in every garage. Lack of administrative acumen hurt more as the demands shifted toward government regulation, competition for students and reliance on grants and donations. Perhaps John Andrew Rice's vision of replacing management with academic leadership could only happen in small doses--during the frenzy of enthusiasm for something new and only over a short period of time. It may be an ideal that doesn't wear well."]]>deepspringscollege reed reedcollege stjohn'scollege prescottcollege bereacollege colleges alternative alternativeeducation lcproject openstudioproject experientialeducation unschooling deschooling 1991 ljacksonnewell katherinereynolds keithwilson eannadams cliffordcrelly kerrienaylor zandilenkbinde richardsperry ryotakahashi barbrawardle antiochcollege antioch hierarchy organizations ephemeral leadership teaching learning education schools research visionaries ideals idealism specialization generalists interdisciplinary multidisciplinary crossdisciplinary crosspollination transdisciplinary innovation freedom bureaucracy universityofchicago collegeoftheatlantic democracy democraticeducation structure ephemerality popupschools small smallschools josefalbers charlesolson johnandrewrice lucianmarquis highered highereducation progressivism blackmountaincollege bmc maverickcolleges evergreenstatecollege experientiallearning miamidadecommunitycollege ucsantacruz monteithcollege fairhavencollege westernwashingtonunivhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:af7314f2a3fb/Julian Bleecker on ‘Undisciplinarity’ on Vimeo2013-04-03T17:24:34+00:00
