Resources & Blog
Welcome to the SPA Resources and Blog page. Here we have blogs, vlogs, links, statements, articles and ideas building up. Let us know what you need more of (or less of!)
The objective of SPA is to get to a healthy, happy society with equal opportunities for all. Much to do then! Most requests for information and understanding are currently around the social philosophy of ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ or ‘DEIB’ (etc), where we critique both poles of recent arguments and end up as what we call ‘Radical Moderates’!
We write from a perspective informed by many things, including literacy in critical thinking, liberal (Enlightenment/objective) and critical (post-modern/subjective) approaches, economics, statistics and religious traditions.
We hope you find it helpful. Contact us with any question or need.
