Ways of Knowing

Today's Friday group with Joan was a rigorous session that interrogated ways of knowing, changes in perspectives about individual teaching approaches, and free flowing expressions of our worldviews. The conversations assisted in preparing for the much anticipated arrival at the end of Ocorber of mentor Jack and a series of living histories workshops at DUT.

The episodes around 'ways of knowing' had us traveling through ancient Irish tombs as Joan explained the intricacies of applied science related to the advanced building techniqies embodied in the breathtaking architecture from a period before the advent of scribal recordings. A further scholastic adventure informed our gaze at the the mathematics applied in traditional African basketry and cultural attire. What a masterclass in the evidence of epistemology.
