Curriculum of Connection: What Does Sense8 Teach Us about Love, Community and Responsibility in Days of Despair?
Zilonka, Revital; Job, Jennifer
Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, v48 n4 p387-401 Nov 2017
The TV show Sense8 tells the story of eight strangers from all around the world who realize they are connected to each other in a unique way. While taking their first steps of their quest to understand what bonds them and how they relate to one another, they are challenged by powerful people who want to capture them. Their individual journeys become a collective one, and through practicing a love ethic, they grow individually and collectively--an important lesson that can be taught in our classrooms. This article discusses what a love ethic entails and how it relates to restoring a sense of community within our schools and classrooms as a counteraction to neoliberal ideology and practices that harm our schools and atomize our communities.
