Drawing on Joan Tronto’s understanding of care as a practice oriented toward the maintenance, continuity, and repair of the world and our entangled ways of living in it, my seminar focused on repair — and hosted a Repair Café.

Intimate and limited to the seminar itself, because repairing something for someone, and recognizing something as in need of repair, opens up an entire network of relations, ontologies, and epistemic practices. Over coffee and homemade food, students helped one another, exchanged experiences, and learned about the things at hand and about the people connected to them. In the process, other people became inscribed into the stories that now hold together a broken porcelain deer, a favourite winter jacket, and a blunt shared kitchen knife.

Rarely have I experienced such an atmosphere in a seminar: attentive, caring, and appreciative, while at the same time deeply reflexive and analytically sharp.

It's important to note that scaffolding is not simply dispensing correct answers or using behaviorist reward/punishment systems. Instead, it's about interactive dialogue and support that truly guides the learning process. #TeachingPhilosophy #Scaffolding

As a history teacher in international schools, I’ve taught students from many countries. What unites them? Curiosity, courage, and the need to feel seen.

Whether I’m teaching revolutions or recording Mr. Hutchings History, my goal is the same:
🧠 Teach with clarity
🌍 Connect across cultures
📚 Show that the past still speaks
