I've created a #Bluesky feed for people in the UK in #Education. It will collate any posts that use these hashtags: #EduSkyUK and #EduUK
I'm hoping it will help people create the education community we used to have on Twitter.

Similarly Freire talks about regimes of traditional education perpetuating a model of oppression as tool to retain dominance. It is challenging to speak truth to power.

What a fabulous question. If we take a foucauldian view point power knowledge and truth are inextricably linked, in that one speaks to another and every exercise of power depends on a knowledge that supports it.
