It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Lidgren, Rodhe and Huisingh (2006) start from the premise that universities have an important role to play, "the state of the world is not the work of ignorant people, but rather the opposite, the result of work made by people with ". But after a strong start towards environmental responsibility and sustainability, by 2004 they report that Lund University has fallen into a bit of a slump, where for example the university president's excuse for not meeting environmental goals is that the goals were too ambitious in the first place.

You don’t have to be a net zero hero – how focus on personal climate action can distract from systemic problems
Shifting the blame for the climate crisis onto individuals hides the larger issue. True progress demands systemic accountability from governments and corporations.

Developing "principles for quality education" to guide course development. Where does one even start?
Developing “principles for quality education” to guide course development. Where does one even start?
I've been feeling inspired by Karolinska Institutet's "Principles for Quality Education", and I would like to develop something similar for my own work, and the group I work in. I think it is important for me and us to articulate what we believe is good education, mainly so we figure that out for ourselves, but also so we ourselves, as well as people who are considering approaching us, know what we stand for.
