Time and the Rhythms of Emancipatory Education
Rethinking the temporal complexity of self and society
Time and the Rhythms of Emancipatory Education argues that by rethinking the way we relate to time, we can fundamentally rethink the way we conceive education. Beyond the contemporary rhetoric of acceleration, speed, urgency or slowness, this book provides an epistemological, historical and theoretical framework that will serve as a comprehensive resource for critical reflection on the relationship between the experience of time and emancipatory education.

“A probing exploration of the temporal dimensions of education. This book is an intellectual masterpiece that will set the standard for a long time to come.”

The Temporal Imagination
Hosted by Michel Alhadeff-Jones and Keri Facer
How do our habits of living and working with time shape us and our societies? Can we play and work with time differently to make a better world? Join hosts Professor Keri Facer and Dr Michel Alhadeff-Jones as they bring together world-leading researchers and academics from six continents to explore how rethinking the ways we think with, work with and live in time could be the key to unlocking more liveable futures for people and planet.
This podcast is also available in audio only format and with closed captions on the Sunkhronos Institute's YouTube channel.
Certificat de Formation Continue: Récits de Vie et Accompagnement Biographique
Depuis 2021, j’ai le privilège d’être responsable du Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) “Récits de vie et accompagnement biographique”, proposé en partenariat entre le Service de la Formation Continue de l'Université de Fribourg et l’Institut Sunkhronos. Cette formation vise à permettre aux participant.e.s de développer les fondements théoriques et pratiques requis pour concevoir et faciliter des démarches d'accompagnement biographique.
Coaching & Supervision
Through my work at the Sunkhronos Institute, I provide my clients with services of coaching and supervision. I assist and support them in their activities and through their personal and professional development, in order to help them sustain the transformations they are committed to.
Accompagnement & Supervision
Dans le cadre de mes activités à l’Institut Sunkhronos, je propose différentes démarches d’accompagnement et de supervision. J’accompagne mes clients dans leurs activités et dans leurs démarches de développement personnel et professionnel, afin de leur permettre d’inscrire dans la durée les transformations auxquelles ils aspirent ou auxquelles ils participent déjà.
Comment apprend-on à réguler les flux qui animent nos vies?
Cette question est au coeur du programme de recherche que poursuit le Laboratoire Temporalités, Rythmes et Complexité, que j’ai fondé dans le cadre de mes activités à l’Institut Sunkhronos. Elle repose sur le postulat selon lequel chacun d’entre nous développe tout au long de sa vie une capacité à piloter ses propres transformations et les manières dont elles évoluent au fil du temps. L’intelligence rythmique renvoie à la capacité individuelle et collective de réfléchir de manière critique et de réguler les rythmes à travers lesquels des processus transformateurs façonnent et contraignent nos vies. Les réflexions et les connaissances développées autour de cette notion, ses applications et les théories à partir desquelles elle est envisagée sont désormais partagées sur une plateforme en cours d’élaboration.
How do people learn to regulate the flow of their lives ?
This question is at the core of the research agenda conducted by the Temporalities, Rhythms and Complexity Lab, that I have founded at the Sunkhronos Institute. It is based on the assumption that people develop throughout their lives the capacity to pilot their own transformations and the ways they evolve. Rhythmic intelligence refers to people’s ability to individually and collectively regulate and critically reflect on the rhythms through which transformational processes shape and constrain their lives. The reflections and knowledge developed around this notion, its applications and the theories that inform its conception are now shared on a platform available as a work-in-progress.
