informal education in Chicago
From Daniel Tucker, Editor - AREA Chicago:
Last summer/Fall AREA Chicago Art/Research/Education/Activism (www.areachicago.org) produced a summer long series to explore informal educational practices in the city entitled How We Learn as part of an exhibit entitled the Pedagogical Factory http://www.hydeparkart.org/exhibitions/2007/07/the_pedagogy_project.php.
Following this series they published one of their Biannual "Local Reader" publications on the same theme - exploring the relationship between education and social movements. As always, they used the local lens to explore these larger questions. This issue was inspired by the events they produced as well as the incredible amount of left-oriented educational projects going on in the city - from informal reading groups to public school teachers networking to create radical curriculum distribution projects.
"How We Learn" is published online here http://areachicago.org/p/issues/5/
Some of the texts that may be of particular interest include:
