Caesura Collective is about breaking the cycle of competition and isolation in higher ed and blurring the lines of who gets to create and share knowledge.
With this group we encourage our student & teacher members to take ownership of their learning by creatively reflecting on their interests with other thinkers!
We strongly believe that learning is a lifelong process best enjoyed with friends and colleagues who share a passion for questioning, prodding and probing ideas!
