Khalil Moran is pursuing a PhD in Democratic Economic Solutions to Inequality, with a specific focus on Community Wealth Building, an approach coined in Cleveland in the US and Preston in the UK. They have a particular interest in the interplay between our intra and interpersonal skills, theories of learning and how they impact our communication, and the systems and institutions we shape and are shaped by.
Khalil has been a staff member at Wicklow Democratic School since it opened in 2016 and was the Project Coordinator for two years. They currently work on the WDS staff team as a facilitator to the school’s facilitators, supporting with research, activity plans, systemization and culture building, course development, and overall strategy for the school's continued development of democratic education.
Khalil chats about the history of Community Wealth Building with examples from the U.K. and U.S.A. , the benefits and challenges of the approach and how it might work in an Irish context.
