In this episode, Adam and Joe continue their conversation with Dr. C. Darius Stonebanks, co-founder and co-director of Transformative Praxis Malawi; Professor of Education at Bishop’s University; and an Adjunct Professor at McGill University.
In part 2, Adam continues to ask Christopher deep and rarely discussed questions related to relationships and commitment in Action Research- “relationship building and being physically present is a long-term endeavor, so how do you grapple with advancing a project? …how important is the relationship between committing time and physically being in that space where you're executing the program?” (8:02) Followed up with lightning round where Joe and Adam are asking some interesting questions to dive deeper into Christopher’s Transformative Praxis Malawi project. - “What does TPM actually do? Why is this valuable? How is this project action research? How does Freire inform the project in Malawi? And how do you take consideration of contextual differences? What has been the biggest challenge for you as director of the TPM?” (12:48) Tune-in to listen to how Christopher responded to such interesting questions.
