    Get Ebooks The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth) "Intricate and extraordinary." - New York Times on The Fifth Season (A New York Times Notable Book of 2015) The start of a new fantasy trilogy by Hugo, Nebula & World Fantasy Award nominated author N.K. Jemisin. THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS... FOR THE LAST TIME. A season of endings has begun. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy. For more from N. K.

Get it over with and move on to more interesting things. First, a personal ending. There is a thing she will think over and over in the days to come, as she imagines how her son died and tries to make sense of something so innately senseless. She will cover Uche’s broken little body with a blanket—except his face, because he is afraid of the dark—and she will sit beside it numb, and she will pay no attention to the world that is ending outside. The world has already ended within her, and neither ending is for the first time. She’s old hat at this by now. What she thinks then, and thereafter, is: But he was free.

    RSED 4907 Power and Movements: Approaches to Collective Liberation “To have without possessing, do without claiming, lead without controlling, this is mysterious power.” ~ Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Ch. 51 “Order or disorder depends on organization; courage or cowardice on circumstances; strength or weakness on dispositions" ~ Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Ch. 5 Fall 2020 Synchronous Online Zoom Meeting ID: 824 0877 5635 Password provided via email through Moodle Mondays 2:10pm - 5:00pm Pacific Time September 14, 2020 – DecemBer 14, 2020 Final Syllabus Instructor: J. Tyson Casey [email protected] Office Hours: by appointment only, generally before class on Mondays Grading: 3 Units. Pass/Fail (unless letter grade is requested in writing) I. Rationale The world we now live in is rapidly changing – as a result of kyriarchy, climate disruption, and the chaotic crumbling of governing institutions. These conditions are interdependent and impermanent. They call for adaptive and emergent power rooted in relationship – with the body, with one another, and with the creative potential that lives within and outside of us. The rationale of this course is to engage the interdependence of internal and collective power in contributing to social change movements, regeneration, and liberation. The course will explore specific approaches to change through various perspectives of power, organization, and movement. This includes the phenomena that contribute to and are perpetuated by interlocking patterns of domination. Participants will have the opportunity to develop their connection to collective liberation by: studying power and movements; working with concrete tools and practices that deepen internal, interpersonal, and institutional relationships with power and movements; reflecting upon the wisdom of spiritual and secular sources; and collaborating in the equitable cultivation of community.
