My companion on the first half of my trans-Alpine trek on the GR5 was supposed to be Ciaran Sugrue. He is a great scholar, a good friend & a lovely man. But some weeks ago he had a catastrophic cycling accident in Scotland which put him on life support for several days, & now he is making a slow bit steady recovery & rehab from extensive paralysis over many parts of his body. We have walked many miles of this long trail together. I miss his energy, irony & wit. He was the first to introduce to the meaning of Gobshite!
Ciaran doesn't post on social media. But he is Emeritus Prof at @ucddublin. He won't know about this post, but his days can be long, and his mind is razor sharp, so if you know him, respect him, have been touched by him in any way, please send him your best wishes, cheer & ideas, randomly, via UCD. It will mean a lot.
I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how to build rules and habits that allow us to disagree deeply while still being able to live together.
On December 5, I’ll talk more about this idea – called pluralism – at our third annual @ObamaFoundation Democracy Forum. Learn more at https://t.co/skhawNQ57s
There are four broad reasons to hold meetings: to influence others, to make decisions, to solve problems, or to strengthen relationships. These are all active processes, so passive participation in meetings doesn't really work. https://t.co/83U19bf4BU
“No human society has ever cornered the market on absolute truth. The truth is that everything changes, people are never satisfied and identities are fictional.
What it means to be Christian or Spanish or even a man or a woman depends on the stories people believe. It’s changed many times in the past, and will keep changing in the future.
You won’t find the truth by killing people who disagree with you – you’ll just sink into ignorance.”

Human nature hasn't change as much as the way we hold conversations has changed -- and it's the very thing holding us back from having those conversations.

Explicit instruction provides dramatic benefits when learning to read...if you couldn't read the paywalled article last week, here's a news story https://t.co/pFUK3js3gL

So sorry to hear the news of Professor Richard Elmore’s passing. His influence, research and thought on teacher professional development is indelible. I know that his, “I used to think, and now I think” approach amongst so many others will be with us for a very long time.
Like many, I have been deeply disturbed by what happened in DC last week. But, I will not respond to hate w hate. The only antidote to hatred and violence is peace and a commitment to work for justice.
