Intersectional Unschooling with Zakiyya Ismail -- SDE Weekend Flashback

a heartful conversation about an orientation of unschooling that is rooted in and geared towards social justice. Why does this orientation raise so many objections?

FLASHBACK from our 2022 SDE Weekend!
Why does this orientation raise so many objections? And for those of us for whom an intersectional approach to unschooling is the only way we can live it, what does that look like? We gathered to share our best practices and most troublesome ones, answered some of our most pressing questions, our insights, and our inspirations.

Host, Zakiyya Ismail (she/her) for the last 25 years has been experimenting with living and learning in freedom, also known as unschooling. She is an advocate for freedom in education and has made submissions to education bills open for public comment. She curates the Living Unschooling anthology on her website. She has been supporting and has been consistently sharing her reflections on the intersections of unschooling with decolonisation, social change, and unschooling’s foundational role in social justice through her writings, conferences, and her Tedx Talk.
