About Greg Macdougall
For over two decades, Greg Macdougall has engaged in independent (interdependent) media and grassroots community activism, mostly on unsurrendered Anishinabe Algonquin territory.
Aiming to provoke dreams and rooted with an anti-hegemonic, anarchist-oriented ethos and praxis (interrelated theory and practice) of social change communication, empowerment-focused education and effective, liberatory, multi-issue mutual solidarity politic organizing dynamics, he is cognizant of the behavioural problems of 24-7 news cycles and social media addiction.
Formal credentials in mathematics, computers and teaching.
