‘Place’ has always been one of the priority issues for PASCAL.  Readers may be interested to see the new newsletter Policies for Places being developed by John Tibbitt. It carries essays which explore the implications of a range of policies on the notion of place, including essays on learning and place and learning and urban planning.

The opening paragraph of the PIMA Bulletin for January 2023 states: Ethical adult educators cannot continue to provide the same old curricula as if the very existence of the planet were not in peril: we have a “response-ability” (Sterling and Martin, 2019) to contribute to the struggle for climate justice.

One of the many pressing questions we face is how do we unpick the false assumptions about the separation of humans from the more-than-human world – and why does it matter? In this bulletin we open up conversations on these complex issues.
