Notes from the margin of education.

The most formative parts of an education rarely fit on a transcript. They happen in the margins: in the conversations after class, in the projects that begin as side interests, in the studio, the field, the staffroom, the second language, the unfamiliar country. They happen in the slow accumulation of practice, doubt, revision, and care. Mass schooling, coursework, and research are scaffolds. The actual building of one's mind is something else.

This is a public record of that something else — a relational pedagogy of mind, media, and machines.
