Kiran Nigam

This will be kiran's fourth time facilitating NASCO's Action Camp, and she's excited to return! Education has been part of kiran's work and play for some time now, and her commitment to social justice underlies all the work that she does. kiran currently works as a head teacher at Clonlara, a K-12 free school in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She worked as the Directress of Education and Training for NASCO for two years, organizing annual conferences and traveling around the country giving trainings for members of housing and worker co-ops. As a member of the Barrington Collective, a collective that focused on radical education as a community organizing tool, she helped found a community free skool in Berkeley, California. Interests outside of democratic and popular education include art, neurology, riding bikes, cooking food, palindromes, puns, gardening, reading, traveling, herbalism, and hanging out with her cats.
