My Professional Progress
As an anarchist, my areas of work are not limited to the mentality of ‘careers’, ‘livelihoods’ or even ‘projects’, I work for the totality of liberation and the eradication of all forms of domination.
In undertaking this MSc Political Agroecology there are two fields which I consciously engage in:
-
Agroecology
-
Political & Community Organising
I undertook a surveying process to explore current trends in these fields, my peers and how I compare, so that I can continue to use Gaia U as a way to optimise my edges and spaces in these fields.
Read my results & commentary here.
I then explored who is operating at the point where these two fields meet. You can read a summary of my observations of the political agroecology field here.
My Skillflex Development
A tool I developed during my Learning Intentions Pathway Design process was this Skill Flex Tracker spreadsheet. (Please view). You can see thatI have created a tab marked ‘OP 2 Tracker’. If you click on this you can see which skills I have strengthened during this output process. I have scaled these 1* to 5*****, five being the most.
As you can see the largest areas of development have been:
-
Community organising
-
Project management
-
Teaching, tutoring and mentoring
-
Design skills, some self-care tools & digital skillflexes have also been strengthened
Another huge part of my professional learning pathway has been exploring popular education, which is explored in more detail on my Output Outcomes page.
