Education

In the U.S. I taught in university and community college. In New Zealand, after working in mainstream schools, I ran the Kaitiaki Collective (2015-2016) and then the Deep Green Bush-School (2017-2020).

You can read all the details of the short (but drama-filled) existence of the Deep Green Bush-School in my now-completed book: The Bush-School vs. Civilization: The Rise and Fall of a Revolutionary School.
