The Institute is proud to announce the publication of a curated anthology of choice articles, blog posts, talks and presentations by Lois Holzman.

Called Big Ideas and Revolutionary Activities: Selected Essays, Talks and Articles by Lois Holzman, it’s designed to inspire you to become more powerful at building the many environments in which you work and play. As editors Carrie Lobman and Tony Perone explain in their introduction, it’s a challenge to how we think about reading.

“We are taught to read in order to get answers…Lois writes with an invitation to join her in a different pursuit — a search for method…let yourself be inspired…to become tool makersand not just tool users; environment builders — not just environment inhabitants…”

The book shares Holzman’s “search for method” across wide-ranging community-organizing arenas, and along the way, introduces some exquisite conceptual breakthroughs.

Carrie (an Associate Professor of Education at Rutgers, and Director of the Institute’s Revolutionary Conversations) and Tony (an educational psychologist and faculty of the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the UW Tacoma, and an Institute Associate) share how they’ve integrated readings into their respective classrooms to create philosophically playful conversations.

Big Ideas is now available through Amazon.
