Education as Polis – Reclaiming the Public Dimension of Learning
What if we treated education as a public practice that builds a shared world, rather than reducing it to skills, metrics, or efficiency?
In my latest blog post I explore the idea of education as polis. This perspective sees learning as a collective act of world making, where classrooms, courses, and digital spaces can nurture the common good. Yet when platforms are structured around surveillance, competition, and control, the public dimension of education is put at risk.
I develop these ideas further here:

How can we reclaim digital learning spaces so they truly serve the public good? What practices or examples have you seen that embody this vision?
