Bridging Differences

In Bridging Differences
Deborah exchanges views with a different colleague, each for a month or two. Her current correspondent is Harry Boyte, a Minnesotan (although his roots are southern). He has always been a friend and mentor, even though we come to stuff in different ways and even disagree on and off. He is a professor and an activist, a theorist and a practitioner, with a focus on democracy—beginning a long time ago when he worked with Martin Luther King. He has written or edited ten books on the topic and founded a Center on
democracy which is now at St Augsberg College, but formerly at the University of Minnesota.

See you in D.C.?

Posted on July 18, 2012 by debmeier

Just two weeks, plus a day, until we convene in Washington D.C. It’s a time to get together and plan, thrash out our hopes for American schools, meet each other face-to-face, and make a statement.

Of course, I’d rather it was on the North or South Pole. D.C. in August??? Who planned this thing? Oh dear, I confess. I’m on the executive committee.

So–instead of marching in the mid-day heat, this year we’re meeting indoors. Probably air-conditioning–no, for certain. Go to the website for S.O.S. (or look to your upper left on my web page–right here for details.)
