This is a paid course. We offer two sliding scales based on your relative financial standing. The huge range between the two scales is meant to reflect not only the incredible disparity in economic conditions between different parts of the world but also the historical reality of stolen wealth in many different forms generally from the so-called Global South to the North. Ultimately, the payment system is designed for those with more access to wealth to cover the costs of those with less access to wealth; we trust your discernment of how you personally fit into this global economic context.
PLEASE SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS:
For people with medium to high access to wealth in the global context (as a general rule of thumb: middle class and upper/owning class people in the Global North, anyone with investments or retirement savings, anyone who expects an inheritance)
For people with lower access to wealth in the global context (as a general rule of thumb: most people in the Global South and people who’ve been systematically disadvantaged or are poor/working class in the Global North)
The different levels marked by ‘Friend’, ‘Supporter’, and ‘Partner’ do not convey any material differences in your experience. They simply mark different contribution amounts within each scale.
As you decide what amount to pay, we ask that you not only consider your present-day financial situation governed by income but also factors including:
01.
Historical discrimination faced by your peoples
02.
Your financial wealth (do you have retirement savings?)
03.
Your access to income and financial wealth, both current and anticipated (how easily could you earn more income compared to other people in your country and in the world? do you expect to receive an inheritance?)
04.
People counting on your financial livelihood including dependents and community members
05.
The socio-economic conditions of your locale (relative to other places in your country and in the world)
If you feel deeply challenged by the financial requirements of participation, we have a small scholarship fund available thanks to The Christopher Reynolds Foundation. We ask that all participants make some financial contribution for the course, no matter the size. If you wish to apply for a scholarship, there will be a place to indicate need at the end of the application form and we will follow up with you about next steps.
