Decolonising Unschooling Workshop
WITH IEISHAH CLELLAND & MEGHAN SUNIGA-DAVIES
A live interactive workshop facilitated by unschooling parents & liberation minded disruptors Ieishah and Meghan.
Discussing the importance of having a decolonisation practice while unschooling, divesting from oppressive systems and how they are inextricably linked to unschooling.
Generously sponsored by the Alliance for Self Directed Education (ASDE).
Meghan Suniga-Davies
Meghan is a mixed race Chicana mother who lives in Austin, Texas. They've been involved in Self Directed Education (SDE) for many years, raising life-long unschoolers while living in Asia, Europe and USA. Currently an ASDE coordinator, and one half of the ROAM: Teen Travel Collective.
Ieishah Clelland
Ieishah is a writer and unschooling mother of two, who has travelled to over 50 countries and lived in seven. Currently residing in NYC, her work has been published in Ebony, Tipping Points Magazine for ASDE & she co-produced a podcast series with Akilah S. Richards.
This workshop was intended to be more than one hour and to have breakout rooms for smaller spaces to have discussion around each of the questions Meghan and Ieishah bring to the space. They do not come with a lecture or step by step work to decolonization within unschooling. They simply offer space to excavate and a few resources for you to explore in community. Please take this time to reflect personally, but we invite you to bring these conversations into community.
