Social Permaculture for Food Justice, Week 1 + 2
Current Context for ‘A Call to Action’ + Introduction to Social Permaculture
My friend Riley Kaiser and I are on an adventure to create a Social Permaculture for Food Justice course. We found Abrah Dresdale’s course at UMass, proposed/asked the school for options for financial support, got lots of no’s, and decided to take the syllabus and Abrah’s recommended resources, her and Connor Stedman’s ‘Building a Toolbox for Social Permaculture’ pdf, and her book Regenerate Change, utilize the library and wealth of information on the internet and make a course for ourselves.
We have class every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday until the end of April, and I’m going to post the resources we end up using in each class period here to give credit where it’s due and share our learning along the way. We’ll also be making a zine at the end of each week.
We are combining Abrah’s week one and week two because Riley’s cutoff for their EMT exam, plus the beginning of the season, require us to finish the course in one week less time than Abrah’s syllabus allows for. So that’s why Week 1 + Week 2 are crammed into Feb 1-6.
