Reflecting on Education in the Cool, Grey City of Love
Photo: Ken Miller
Please join interdisciplinary artist/cultural worker pearl ubungen for a lively talk and discussion centering on education. Ms. ubungen will draw from the critical writings of Cornel West, Edward Said and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche’s recently published, The Shambhala Principle: Discovering Humanity’s Hidden Treasure. Ms. ubungen will speak about her experience as a student in the San Francisco public school system and graduate of SF State University where she received a BA in History and did much of her concentration work at SFSU’s Ethnic Studies school – the first and only such school in the United States.
Ms. ubungen will be linking her work as artist-in-residence in SF public schools, her commitment to community-based arts activism, as well as her academic work in universities to the broader movement of reconnecting education to social justice and new pedagogies that give weight to cultural identity, sense of place, and humanity as a whole.
