Curated by Isaac Andrew Sanders, MSW (PhD loading)
Curated by Isaac Andrew Sanders (they/them), also know on most social media platforms as @alltimeisaac, this is a growing and living collective of liberatory learning. We believe systems should love us — and until they do, we’ll keep studying, imagining, and building the ones we deserve.

I’m passionate about learning, yet I have a strong aversion to academic institutions. This internal conflict shapes my belief that curriculum is the best way to convey information. The core of education isn’t the problem; it’s the material being taught and the perspectives that are prioritized. Many educational institutions teach social norms that uphold the status quo in society. It’s important to distinguish between hating schooling and hating learning; after all, learning is an act of love.
I navigated my way into a PhD program to serve as a bridge between the ivory towers of academia and the communities I am part of. My goal is to elevate the knowledge I gain in these communities while also bringing valuable skills and information back to them to see if they are beneficial. I strive, as bell hooks suggests, to imagine ways to move beyond boundaries and to transgress societal limitations. I aim to use education as a practice of freedom.

You are your own best teacher — this is just a tool to remember that
Browse through the syllabi — from community based research to abolitionist toolkits, queer futurism playlists, and zine-based learning modules. Each syllabus includes a mix of academic texts, podcasts, videos, music, poetry, and art. There are also journal prompts and discussion questions for you to use by yourself or with a group of learners. Use what speaks to you. Remix what doesn’t. Make it yours.
For the educators, organizers, youth, and elders, these materials are primed for multiple platforms and media. From classrooms to book clubs. For yourself or for your 4th grader who wants to learn more about a topic that they are not being taught in school. For your problematic Thanksgiving dinner moments and your organizing spaces, there is something for everyone. Start from a template or adapt a section to your community’s needs. You are allowed to teach.
Please share the tool widely and broadly. Please send it to your friends. Use it in a training. Link it in your own syllabus. Nothing here is locked behind a password or institution; give credit where credit is due. If you'd like to see more of the behind-the-scenes process or read less academic work, follow my social media posts above and consider subscribing to my Substack. You'll receive bonus content, and I'll be able to pay my bills, allowing me to continue creating spaces and content like this.
