Joyful book launch yesterday. Everyone fell for Woodlands Community Garden.Thanks to the wonderful Zinnia Mevawalla for chairing the conversation, Lua Watt Tang for talking about his cover picture for the book and all the friends, colleagues and family who showed up to celebrate the publication.
It was great to hear recently @ktlwi.bsky.social argue exactly this at a recent @stir.ac.uk curriculum group meeting and the application of significance to historical events. How do we promote such an ontological shift in our teachers and young people? @rushtondr.bsky.social @scrcm.bsky.social
