The materials from the Constellation of the Commons are an essential and highly useful pedagogical tool for my classes. I always use these resources in my ecofeminism class and also in other classes on Spanish cultural studies. It is empowering for the class to learn about the multiple examples of initiatives and practices oriented towards the common good that exist in the Spanish state. Each group of three students selects a community of practice that they are interested in exploring, and then they are responsible for introducing that community to the class and reflecting on whether it could be considered an ecofeminist community and why.
The Constellation of the Commons virtually visited Miami University to explain the project and propose a two-session workshop in a collective working dynamic of dictionary entry production. We followed the dynamic of creating a co-dictionary entry that is part of the critical pedagogy classroom.
