Mississippi River Open School for Kinship and Social Exchange, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Revealing the Mississippi River as an interconnected ecological corridor that structures our collective past, present, and future in the Anthropocene

The Mississippi River Open School for Kinship and Social Exchange (2022--2025) is a structurally radical, community-engaged educational project that turns the university inside out to make it a home for public pedagogy, reconceiving the relationship between universities and frontline communities. This book collects, curates, and represents much of the work produced by, through, and in collaboration with the Open School. It foregrounds the central methodology of collaboratively imagining and practicing experimental modes of teaching and learning for the planetary climate emergency by drawing from a growing archive of creative writing, art, film, interviews, and activist toolkits, and it engages pressing issues of race, environment, and extraction as it connects crises experienced along the Mississippi River, from its headwaters to the gulf.
