The context in which Peeragogy is applied is explored in several case studies.

Case Studies

Within the Peeragogy project, our working context seems to contain a number of significant sub-contexts:

Context as pattern

The problem of context: to manifest relationships
The solution of context: put problems into communication with solutions
The context of context is always a bigger context

Next steps

PATT Podcast production meetings :podcast:

These are now regularly scheduled, every week (optional, RSVP for interested people)
For sourcing guests, doing promotions, include e.g. Arlington Media
Good to have future guests along if they can drop in
Production meetings set up to run weekly on the public peeragogy calendar

PATT Upcoming podcast recording sessions :podcast:

Charlotte is maintaining the Master Schedule of podcasts as a spreadsheet
- These dates are copied into the public calendar when they get firmed up
Some unofficial possible topics and themes are as follow:
Peeragogy Of Course scheduled for the 12th — details need to be firmed up. Presently many of these various possible attendees have been invited…?
- Howard and Melanie
- Sherry, Kristy, Pete
- … and the course participants would need to be confirmed — maybe 5, people pop in and out
‘Difficult conversations’ — ‘Crucial Conversations’ & difficult conversations, sticking to facts. What other people — Henry Pierce could come along for this one (Washington, Texas, Mass., Minn.)
- Intercultural communication, differences in cultures & communication — Judith had some training in this (e.g., relating to body language, noticing where people’s eyes are going…); now relevant every time you go on a Zoom call.
“Peeragogy in Brazil” w/ 3 or 4 guests — Vitor, Monica, Hermano, Analua…? Noting, in the Brazilian context:
- Teachers are overworked, people are losing their jobs, people worry about the vaccine
- If peeragogy is some extra thing, then people won’t do it
- Vitor can gather 10 or 15 people but they might not make a lot of noise about it
Wiki revisited - the 2 additional sessions we had planned (maybe Pete, Monica, Judith would all want to drop in)
Podcast about the podcast to wrap up the first season?
- Maybe invite the Streamyard creators themselves sometime.

BACK Book meetings :handbook:

Pick one weekday morning and one weekend?
Announce on social media

PATT Get podcast contributors lined up & committed :podcast:

Contact, spreadsheet, checklist
Can each podcast become a chapter?

BACK Podcast checklist can become a chapter :podcast:

W/ Vitor a potential reader…

BACK Blog about progress? :website:

Share Sacha’s guide and start doing it!

BACK Develop an Outreach pattern :podcast:

TODO Convert Berkeley 3 week into next pitch [50%] :course:

(50% done, but need to figure out who we are actually pitching to!)
Can draw on the longer version for Tufts as needed
Melanie and Howard are interested
- Start by making a natural extension of the 3wk v and compression of the Tufts v
- Set up little sessions to do the course, maybe doing 30 minute or longer sessions to build up the topics
- Outreach to students as appropriate
- Diploma for completing the course - origami

Questo è lo spazio per la controparte Unpeeragogy di “Context”. Qui la teoria viene smontata, il pattern viene decostruito, e la realtà operativa prende il sopravvento.

Failure Pattern: L’Applicazione Meccanica Prendere un pattern teorico e applicarlo senza contesto è la ricetta per il fallimento. I manuali di peeragogy insegnano strumenti, ma non insegnano a leggere il terreno. Il risultato? Gruppi che seguono il manuale alla lettera e si chiedono perché non funziona.

Agente Perturbatore: “Avete copiato il pattern, ma non avete capito perché funziona. O se funziona per voi. Copiare senza capire non è peer learning, è catechismo. Leggete meno manuali e guardate di più il vostro gruppo.”
