Listen "The Educated Self as Action-Oriented Praxis"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Conscious Conversations, Dr. John Scott joins Mmabatho Montse to explore what it means to live education as a praxis of self-knowledge, action, and ethical transformation. Together, they move beyond schooling as a system of conformity and efficiency, instead reframing education as a deeply intuitive, embodied, and ancestral journey toward becoming. Drawing on insights from his decades-long work in diversity, equity, and cultural humility, Dr. Scott brings a nuanced lens to the conversation—rooted in Indigenous wisdom, narrative inquiry, and liberatory pedagogies such as Theatre of the Oppressed. This dialogue unpacks how healing, unlearning, and memory are not peripheral, but central to education that cultivates presence, relational accountability, and critical consciousness. At its heart, this episode challenges listeners to rethink education as more than intellectual accumulation. Instead, it emerges as a spiritual and political alignment—a life-long process of attuning to responsibility, integrity, and radical love. Through stories, reflections, and grounded theory, this conversation invites us to reclaim education as a sacred practice of becoming, rooted in both personal truth and collective liberation.
