WTF is SEL?
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 103
What the F is Social-Emotional Learning? It's a serious question. Behind all the flowery language is a history, and that history demands looking at. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and its chief lobbying organization, CASEL (the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) emerged in the mid-1990s from a place called the Fetzer Institute. What is the Fetzer Institute, though? Created by a twentieth century radio magnate named John Fetzer, the Institute was devoted to Fetzer's devoted pursuit of New Age Spiritualism and occultism. The inspiration for much of his theosophical belief resided in the curious character of Alice A. Bailey, who wrote two dozen books on occultism and theosophy, including Education in the New Age, between 1922 and her death in 1949. Did these occult ideas influence the development of Social-Emotional Learning? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay digs into this question in unsettling detail, raising more questions than he can answer. Join him, and by the end of this episode, you too will be asking what the f--k is Social-Emotional Learning?!
