About

Re-imagining: Education, Culture, World

 

An online magazine published by The Chicago Wisdom Project that addresses some of the biggest questions in our world today.

 

Our Statement of Intent:

 

  1. The planet and humanity are at a moment of crisis and opportunity, and of transition.
  2. Because we are entering into a unknown future, imagination is paramount.
  3. This moment requires new stories, new narratives, new creative works that express this re-imagining.
  4. We believe that these narratives must challenge and confront the injustices of our day. These include injustices that arise from inequitable economic systems; the concept of race; and ecological destruction.
  5. The crisis of the moment is an educational crisis. That is, we must re-imagine educational processes in order to re-imagine our narratives.
  6. We welcome educators, poets, philosophers, activists and writers who are interested in re-imagining our selves and our relationship to the planet.
  7. Re-imagining is a place not so much to find quick answers to find definitive solutions. Rather, it is a place to ask Big Questions, to explore possibilities, and to imagine a new world.
