Unsystematic publishes blogs and podcasts from people doing something unsystematic—reworking old approaches, piloting new ones, forming unexpected partnerships, and replacing systems that no longer work.
We publish blogs and podcast ideas from people who are:
Reworking an existing practice, process, or program to fit a reality it wasn't designed for—and tracking what happens.
Testing a new approach grounded in evidence—not a bright idea, but something built from what we actually know.
Looking honestly at what isn't working, making the call to stop, and building something better in its place.
Telling the truth about what happened—what worked, what didn't, and what others can learn from the attempt.
Informative, engaging writing from people rebuilding education systems in real life—what they tried, why they tried it, what worked, what didn't, and what others can learn.
Conversations with people doing the work: piloting programs, reworking old systems, replacing broken ones, and sharing real stories and outcomes. Pitch yourself or someone you know.
Pitch first. Don't write the full piece before talking to us. Send a short pitch describing what you want to write about (or who you want us to talk to), what system it's about, and why you're the right person to tell this story.
We edit collaboratively. If we're interested, we'll work with you on structure, framing, and clarity. We want your voice—but we'll push for plain language, specificity, and grounded examples.
We respond within two weeks. If we're interested, you'll hear from us. If you don't hear back after 14 days, assume it wasn't a fit this time.
