Support my project.
I believe deeply in this vision. When, in my statement of purpose, I said that “Education, as a technology of cultural production, has the power to transform society”, I meant that the process of schooling our youth not only can, but must produce truly dynamic, interesting and engaged citizens. These citizens are critical thinkers and innovators. They are empathetic, strong and principled. They are good decision-makers. They will be equipped to justly navigate our social structures. This question: “how can the education system both reflect and improve the world we live in?” is one that I am prepared to dedicate my energy to answering.
Completing this master’s degree will, I hope, give me some of the skills I need to pursue this goal. Having tried a number of other avenues, I am convinced that this is a necessary step in the process.
As I’m sure you can imagine, my Harvard tuition is quite expensive. I am not elligible for federal aid in the United States, which many Masters students use to finance their education. Canadian aid has also been quite difficult to come by, as fear about the ‘brain drain’ has many funders privledging Canadian institutions.
As a partial solution to this predicament, I have designed and produced a series of screen-printed posters which I am offering for sale. These are 14″-20″ three-colour prints on heavyweight 100% post-consumer recycled paper. The image of a cold-frame on an antique desk unites my interest in farming and education.
These hand-printed signed prints are available for purchase by donation. There is no minimum or maximum price. Please give what you can to support me and my project, be that 50 or 500 dollars. Every gift is appreciated, and though these posters are but a small signifier of that gratitude, they are made with love and dedication to this pursuit.
