Boing Boing: AnarchistU, Toronto?s wiki-based free school

  • AnarchistU, Toronto's wiki-based free school
    My old highschool roommate, Erik "Possum Man" Stewart, has started a free school in Toronto callled AnarchistU, in which anyone can propose a class, organize its curriculum on a wiki, sign up enough students and start teaching. Each semester has seen substantial growth in enrollment, and the model of peer education is really working well for a surprising number of people.

    What is Anarchist U?
    The Anarchist U is a volunteer-run collective which organizes a variety of courses on arts and sciences. Most courses run for ten weeks, and meet once a week; there are no admission fees. The Anarchist U follows the tradition of free schools in that it is open, non-hierarchic and questions the roles of teachers and students.

    Where is Anarchist U located?
    Anarchist U is in Toronto ON, Canada. There is no single street address; rather different classes and meetings take place in different community centres and homes throughout the city.

    Do you offer online courses?
    No. All courses are run non-virtually, classroom style.

    What's an anarchist school? Good question, we're also trying to figure that out!
