This week, Mel & Pearson sit down with Aaron Ellis from the Center for Participant Education to talk about community skill-sharing and radical pedagogy. But, first, some current events:

• The Russiagate conspiracy turned out to be complete hogwash, surprising no one with at least two brain cells to spark together.
• Protesters in Gaza marked the one year anniversary of the Great March of Return.
• Christian fundamentalists are pouring millions of dollars into far-right groups in Europe.
• The YPJ and YPG celebrate driving ISIS out of Afrin and mourn for the fallen. But the social ecologist feminist project of Rojava has only just begun.

We spend the hour speaking with Aaron about anti-hierarchical classrooms, emancipatory pedagogy, (re)imagining the ways we teach and learn, building radical spaces for sharing tools, tactics, and strategies, and holding space in the academy for everyone in the community to learn.
