Welcome to the PESA Agora Archive
This version of PESA Agora has been archived. The material is still accessible, and searchable, via the new and more expansive PESA Agora that is accessible via the PESA Homepage.
The new version of PESA Agora maintains the philosophy of the original version as an open access meeting place for people interested in the intersections of education, philosophy, teaching, learning, technology, indigenous philosophies, identity issues, and the environment.
The new version of PESA Agora offers PESA members a “Discussion Board” to encourage interaction in relation to member posts.
