Mapping as Activism v2
http://philly.thepublicschool.org/class/2144
More often than not, maps are used as a base for our research and design, but we rarely wonder how they were formed, by whom, and for what purpose. Maps are subjective. They should be questioned in the same way that we question our elected officials. What is their hidden (or not so hidden) agenda? Who paid for them? Whose interests are they serving?In drawing a map, we embed in it our political views, our observations and our informed choices.

writing lies that are true v2
http://philly.thepublicschool.org/class/2137
in this experimental writing course, we will explore the boundaries of believability, authenticity, and the recently discovered notion of truthiness using forms like listmaking, found texts, and unreliable narrators to get at a more reliable approximation of truth. we will read texts that explore lying, integrity, and irrelevance while creating others that don't.

Naamiotyöskentely / Masks in theatre
http://helsinki.thepublicschool.org/class/2124
Naamiotyöskentelyä. Luodaan vahvojen naamioiden avulla roolihahmoja ja työskennellään niiden kanssa. Naamioiden persoonallisuuden työstämisen kautta oma teatraalinen ilmaisu kehittyy. Kattavamman kuvauksen voi lukea esimerkiksi Keith Johnstone: Impro (viimeinen luku). Kurssin lopuksi voitaisiin järjestää näytelmä, ehkä täysin improvisoitu.Working with masks.
The Fate of Socialism
http://nyc.thepublicschool.org/class/2121
Inspired by the LA class proposal, 'the destructon of Socialism in America,' I am interested in something slightly less fatalistic. The LA proposal reads:"Phase 1- We'll all contribute, discuss literature from the period between ww1 and ww2 in which the socialist party of america was targetted by the Wilson Administration using his sedition act to jail it's leaders and finacial backers to lengthy prisons sentences and the following creation of American social sciences and introduction to hi
