This is the most moving YouTube video I have ever seen.
Background here.
Several years ago I visited Alaska with a friend. We stayed in Juno. One day I visited a nearby glacier. A visitor’s center had a slide show about the glacier, with taped narration from a park ranger. The glacier came out in the winter, he said, and retreated during the summer. He spoke about plants and animals nearby. It was all very factual and flat but you could tell the speaker cared a lot about the glacier. How rare, I thought. Not the emotion — people care about lots of things — but its expression.
thanks for the reminder. Living in the midwest can mistakenly cloud the fact that the world is complicated, diverse, and beautiful.
super interesting, thanks. relatedly, the most moving itube video I’VE seen – really one of the most moving things I’ve ever seen – made by a woman who is autistic and activist as such – – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnylM1hI2jc.
(* I read the pdf of ‘Diversity in Learning’ the other day – pleasure to read and think about. Surprised Carl Rogers’ isn’t mentioned – maybe that is part of what the editors edited? Is his pedagogical work interesting to you? I’d be interested in your thoughts about it – )
