Syllabus
Syllabus – An archive of articles on various subjects, structured as syllabi for extended learning. “Syllabus was born from a conversation about discovery and learning. In discussing the ways that cultural artifacts travel through a society, we imagined how a syllabus could function as a creative tool that allows you to do things like: i. present what you feel is important for others to experience or consume; ii. group items together in ways that shade and refine their meaning; iii. apply a conceptual or idiosyncratic approach to the syllabus form; iv. develop rogue pedagogies.” Via Naive Weekly
