Learning in community

The word ‘community’ meant many things. Tranby – under Alf Clint and later Kevin Cook and beyond – saw ‘community’ as something that people could strengthen and empower. Tranby encouraged people to build on Indigenous networks and knowledge to strengthen Indigenous communities. But as well, Tranby encouraged students to build alliances across racial, gender, culture and class barriers. The goal was to make communities with more justice for everyone for the future.
