Language not only describes the world. It transforms us alongside the world

This Sunday

Join us for an evening of poetry reading, solidarity and witness. Join us as we word the world with Gaza in this medicinal ritual of making the articulation of pain possible and pronouncable. Free tickets: tickettailor.com/events/sdhepre…

Undanced Peace
I am undancing their unpeace
The sly words cannot reach
Their undanced peace
But the fierce thinking in my head And the hard beating of my heart And the standing firm in my feet
And the reaching but never touching of hands
Separated by siege
Separated by death
Separated by crimes
Separated by walls
They will undance their unpeace

Undanced Peace I am undancing their unpeace The sly words cannot reach Their undanced peace But the fierce thinking in my head And the hard beating of my heart And the standing firm in my feet And the reaching but never touching of hands Separated by siege Separated by death Separated by crimes Separated by walls They will undance their unpeace

From interculturality to solidarity: with the other and beyond the self

Let Gaza hold your hand
To a world of unfinished struggle

Colonial Peace
The land is annexed
Apartheid reigns
Olive trees are uprooted
Settlers prowl
Bulldozers and bombs destroy what is not theirs.
Colonial 'peace'
The enduring curse of The Wicked

It's with humbling honour that we receive this award in the category of Research Collaboration & Innovation for our #VoicesoftheFuture. Thanks to all children & young people who challenged us to rethink what we knew about the social & cultural significance of urban treescapes

Thank you to Oxford Brookes Children and Young People Network for inviting me to deliver this timely talk on #Palestine and #YoungPeople. It focuses on edu-caring and pedagogies of care as an antidote to aphasic being with #Gaza
