Zoe Weil Says “Education Is the Root System Underlying All Other Societal Systems”
Episode 9
Wednesday, 1 April, 2026
In a world facing many crises, where should we focus our efforts? For today’s guest, Zoe Weil, the answer is clear: education. “If we can transform educational systems,” she says, “then we may be able to transform our economic system, our political system, our food system, our production system, our legal system, all these different systems, so that they’re more just and more sustainable and more humane for everyone.” Zoe is the the cofounder and president of the Institute for Humane Education, and in this conversation she shares what makes Humane Education a powerful approach, what reforms our education systems need, and why we all could use more of a “solutionary” mindset. – – – Visit Antioch’s website to learn more about the humane education programs that Antioch offers in partnership with the Institute for Humane Education: the MA in Humane Education, the MEd in Humane Education, the MEd for Experience Educators with a Humane Education Concentration, the Certificate in Humane Education, and the EdD in Educational & Professional Practice, Humane Education.
