Comprehensive Exploration, Comprehension, and Collaboration @ ComprehensivistWed

We will examine three learning schemas to shed light on the nature of comprehensive exploration, comprehension, and collaboration. Our objective is to examine some recommended guideposts for helping us foster our comprehensivity, our aspiration to better understand it all and each other.

To help participants think through these issues I have written an essay that will guide our group exploration: https://www.cjfearnley.com/CfC/2022/01/comprehensive-exploration-comprehension-and-collaboration/

The essay includes two summarizing images and three short video excerpts (a total of 18 minutes of video). The first video excerpt on land acknowledgements is optional. Studying the text of the essay, its images, and the videos on Ten Epistemic Virtues for Comprehensive Learning and The Three Sisters Garden metaphor for learning are strongly recommended for participants to think about carefully.

Welcome to the series "Comprehensivist Wednesdays". Transdisciplinarity, Renaissance humanism, homo universalis, and Polymathy are some of the ways of describing this approach which Buckminster Fuller called Comprehensivity and described as “macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive”.
