Political Pedagogy Today

The Political Pedagogy Today workshop brings together scholars from a range of disciplines, along with intellectually active political educators to consider the claim that political activity itself constitutes a form of education. The focus for thinkers—from disciplines as various as Literature; Political Philosophy; Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; and Education—is to find out what the 2010s have to teach us about pedagogy, on the one hand, and about parties and movements, on the other.

Case studies include the famous Birmingham Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies in the U.K, the educational strategies of the current Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (Landless Workers Movement) in Brazil, U.S prison-based reading groups in Black radical traditions, the formation of new universities in Serbia, and the relationship between pedagogy and educational debt in the United States.
