I have taught in holistic environments with both a spiritual and social focus. Neohumanist futures education is a central theme in my intellectual and practitioner life and I have just finished editing a book with that title with Sohail Inayatullah and Ivana Milojevic. I use creative and interior processes to open children and their families to the possibility of social and personal change that validates sustainable life choices. My work builds on critical pedagogic methodology, extending this field through the application of critical spirituality. My interests are in trans-civilizational dialogue in which I use various categories (linguistic, social, aesthetic, etc...) to challenge assumptions that close down future possibilities. At present I am particlularly interested in contrasting the work of Gilles Deleuze and Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar as a set of coordinates for this civilizational dialogue. A new book on educational futures will be out next year. Here are the details: Alternative Educational Futures: Pedagogies for an Emergent World Bussey, Inayatullah & Milojevic, Sense Publishers, Rotterdam, 2008
