Hopework-l Mailing List: Invitation to join discussion group

[Sara Carpenter (scarpenter]

Hello all,

After a series of conversations with other educators struggling to teach
issues of social justice in their classes, I've decided to start a
reflection circle. This circle is a space for anyone working in educational
settings who is struggling with the ins and outs of teaching "difficult"
things such as power, violence, oppression, justice, and hope (among many
other issues).

Our first meeting will be October 17th, 6:30pm at my house. I welcome anyone
who is interested to join us. Please send me an email and let me know if you
would like to come and I can send you directions to my house.

Peace,
Sara

"History says Don't hope/On this side of the grave,/But then once in a
lifetime/The longed-for tidal wave/Of justice can rise up,/And hope and
history rhyme."
