Phronesis: Death . a celebration of life!

Saturday, December 22, 2007

A friend just got a phone call from the doctor. The treatment for her advanced brain tumor has been successful. It has disappeared. Completely.

The news is almost too big to take in. The doctor rang on a Saturday evening because it was important that she knew.

We never talk about death. But it's part of our life. And our learning.

We die. That's important.

And it's not.

My name is Bev Trayner and I live in Setúbal, Portugal. The focus of my research and practice is designing for learning in distributed communities. I am particularly interested in connecting people in international communities. Key words are: communities of practice, learning, meaning-making, inclusion, multiliteracies, Portugal, and Web2.0 technologies. Keeping a blog helps me navigate my way through different practices and world views. Phronesis includes pondering on the specifics and the universal. It follows on from my previous blog "Em duas línguas".

More about my publications, presentations etc.
