Tania Anaissie, David Clifford, and Victor Cary on Liberatory Design

David is an edu-agitator who has explored what education is for many years through his work on Liberatory Design.  In this interview we hear a lot about David's childhood and his own education and how that has shaped the person he has become today and what he does.  We also talk about the school he co-founded - the East Bay School for Boys (https://eastbayschoolforboys.tumblr.com). This is one of those interviews where we talk about a wide range of topics - from the word curiosity, to white male privilege, working as an artist, the power of creativity and the future of "school".  I think you'll enjoy it - it would be in my own top 10. Liberatory Design: https://nationalequityproject.org/services/liberatory-design TEDxChristchurch description: http://www.tedxchristchurch.com/david-clifford Article on DSX: https://dschool.stanford.edu/news-events/how-might-we-reimagine-high-school Big praise to TEDxChristchurch team, it was great to support what you did the past weekend.  And thanks Rebecca Robertson for the intro to David on the Friday night - and for finding out that you are a fan of seeds! For more interviews visit www.theseeds.nz or search seeds in podcast apps. A reflection inspired by the conversation: Edu-agitator   That teacher who believed in you.  It was decades ago but the memory is fresh. Who saw potential where others saw none. I can see the tears rising as I ask “What shaped him that way?” You’re not sure.  He just was. But perhaps someone played that role in his life too. A catalyst for finding meaning for so many ships setting out. What does his legacy mean for us, for me.  How do I go about not trying to inscribe my name  on stone buildings that will crumble but inputting into lives, weaving into hearts that beat and grow.   I give myself permission to laugh, to cry, to ask questions I give myself permission To embrace others I give myself permission To stay curious I give myself permission To be truly present
