In the flow of rupture | October

October 21, 2025

On Monday October 20, Bayo Akomolafe—CUHF Senior Fellow—offered a reflection on “the crisis of pedagogy” to open the sixth session of our 2025 Council series, In the flow of rupture.

Initially launched over two sessions in February/March 2025 as On the rim of rupture, In the flow of rupture offers ongoing opportunities for reflection among CUHF community members in the wake of upheaval created by the current U.S. administration. Each month, in Council, we ask:

What is happening and how do we stay present, compassionate, grounded and in community amidst the convulsions? Can we together expand our insight and perspective, while being realistic, agile, skillful and of service?

This recording is among the resources CUHF has shared to support the In the flow of rupture Councils in 2025. See the homepage of our site for more.
