you must let me know the sites you visit - I'm jealous!!!! re your earlier or later comment - hey there's no age related bar in entry or departure dates of getting involved in the internet!!! Lol.. I was kind of in the middle - I got excited in 1994 about computers and their possibilities for me - but only really got to grips with emails and social media more recently - probably not until the last few years maybe; certainly not until around the end of the 90's. I embrace the internet passionately - in spreading energies across the whole world suddenly I can meet up over skype in my kitchen and friends I mayn't have seen for a couple of years at least can enter my kitchen, and I theirs, in about 2 minutes flat without leaving our own homes!! ;-)

Well Janie - I went from digital virgin to queen of the Internet in my 60's - I love the net and see great potential for connecting all sorts of folk - including people with shared experience - the isolated and the marginalised - and the explorers of different realities - I have many years involvement at Birmingham Uni - although last year I was too ill to meet my teaching commitments there - I look forward to picking up again with them in the next academic year - I would love to hear what you are involved with - and perhaps see if there is stuff we can do jointly or support one another with - much love - Julie xx

Unlearning through Mad Studies: disruptive pedagogical praxis

Posted by Jill Anderson on October 26, 2020 at 19:00 0 Comments

This paper offers Mad…
