- Education
This week is another take over class by the incredible Writing Revolution In Place Collective (WRIP). WRIP is a “community based research collective that uses poetic and creative research strategies to study topics that shape our different lives in the city. Each WRIP term takes up a different topic, they have studied: treaty 6, gentrification, the TRC, and they are currently studying how gender intersects with other structures of power to shape our most intimate and institutional encounters”. WRIP is run out of the Learning Centre Literacy Association.
We also have a long conversation with Christine Stewart, an instructor from the UofA, about poetics and the importance of thinking about how language works to shape and make sense of our everyday world. Words have the power to uplift and oppress, this is important for us to think about, it means that we can reshape our world and the worlds of others through language. Check out the resource page from this week, on hum101onair.ca, for more reading and thinking about this.
