Strike time

I’m on strike because I think I can use the time to discuss about the problems of the educational system in Chile and what we can do to try to fix it. But also is time to work in other task related with our education. For example, I’m working in a new “mini journal” named ARMA. In this “mini journal” we talk about the problems in our discipline (psychology), and we discuss about our academic training as a psychologist, etc.

In the strike we could make progress in our “mini journal”. We could write two articles, one of them related to the History of Psychology, and the other one related to a diagnosis about our discipline and how it would be the psychology that we want. We also planned different activities for the future of our “mini journal”.

I think being on a strike is not a reason to not study. Maybe you can study different things. And I believe that we can’t consider the content of the subjects as the only thing that we have to learn in the university. Maybe we can use the strike time to discover different things that are related to our social context and we can use that time to working on those things.
