This class does not currently have a facilitator/instructor.
The class will be facilitated by [[User:Reverend_Mik|Reverend Mik]], who uses a combination of Socratic method, class/audience participation, and role-play scenarios in order to help people understand what the subject means and does not mean.

It has been brought to Reverend Mik's attention (and that of several members and regular users) that the term "anarchy" is being used improperly. Rather than ascribe negative motivations for this misuse of the term, Reverend Mik chose to assume that it was a question of a lack of education or information and volunteered to teach this class.
