Book excerpt: This book provides the first complete account of Patrick Pearse's educational work at St. Enda's and St. Ita's schools (Dublin). Extensive use of first-hand accounts reveals Pearse as a humane, energetic teacher and a forward-looking and innovative educational thinker. Between 1903 and 1916 Pearse developed a new concept of schooling as an agency of radical pedagogical and social reform, later echoed by school founders such as Bertrand Russell. This placed him firmly within the tradition of radical educational thought as articulated by Paulo Freire and Henry Giroux. The book examines the tension between Pearse's work and his increasingly public profile as an advocate of physical force separatism and, by employing previously unknown accounts, questions the perception that he influenced his students to become active supporters of militant separatism. The book describes the later history of St. Enda's, revealing the ambivalence of post-independence administrations, and shows how Pearse's work, which has long been neglected by historians, has had a direct influence on a later generation of school founders up to the present.

Download or read book Teaching as Protest written by Robert S. Harvey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching as Protest explores how K-12 teachers can expand the boundaries of their profession with anti-oppressive, community-building pedagogies. Now more than ever, students are looking to their schools to make meaning of our nation’s complicated and compounded traumas, namely those at the intersection of race, class, gender, and power. This book provides historical and philosophical perspectives into liberatory instructional work, while offering planning, preparation, and practice tools whose modalities recognize identity and mindsets, emphasizing schools that predominantly serve Black students. By moving beyond conventional tools and tasks such as standards, lesson-planning, and grade-team meetings and into more emancipatory, student-centered approaches, teachers can answer the call to a more just and radical demonstration of protest intended to disrupt and dismantle oppression, racism, and bias.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern American corporate-industrial state requires a massive ideological machine to establish social order, create political consensus, train obedient citizen-workers, and dispatch marginalized groups to their «place». Mass public education has helped to forge the modern political state that enforces social and racial inequality. Disenchanted African Americans, representing dissenting viewpoints, have vigorously protested this educational system, which is rooted in segregation, differentiated funding, falsehoods, alienation, and exclusion. This important book belongs in classrooms devoted to achieving racial equality in public education.

Book excerpt: The goal of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of Black high school students who participated in Black Lives Matter protests in Los Angeles in 2020. While research has been conducted on the effects of student participation in school-based protests, and in political-engagement assignments couched within a school curriculum, little information is available on the effects of student participation in independent extra-institutional political actions. The study aimed to shed light on the protest experiences of students and how their participation potentially influenced them. The hope was for findings to provide communities and schools with information that might help them better support Students of Color. Engaging a conceptual framework steeped in Yosso's (2005) concept of Community Cultural Wealth (CCW) and Freire's (1970, 1993) critical consciousness (CC) and critical action (CA), the act of protest and the perceived learning its spaces cultivated were viewed with an eye to Transformative Resistant Capital (TRC). The study found that, as a result of participating in protests, participants reported they were able to process past and present racial traumas, cultivate a critical lens in relation to the world around them, and activate their voices and creative expression, with the support of educator mentors. These findings were significant in that (1) perceived learning occurred in an independent, extra-institutional experiential protest context, (2) a conceptual framework emerged from participant narratives that might contribute to future pedagogical approaches to effective TRC-based programs such as YPAR (Youth Participatory Action Research), and (3) these findings speak to a new post-pandemic, post-BLM historical moment of potential educational reform. Implications suggest that schools serving BIPOC students offer opportunities for experiential and arts programming that emphasizes social-emotional processing of racial traumas, and critical action, with a focus on culturally responsive, trauma-informed educator training.

Download or read book The Pedagogy of Teacher Activism written by Keith Catone and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the artful science of portraiture, The Pedagogy of Teacher Activism presents the stories of four teacher activists--how they are and have become social change agents--to uncover important pedagogical underpinnings of teacher activism. Embedded in their stories are moments of political clarity and consciousness, giving rise to their purpose as teacher activists. The narratives illuminate how both inner passions and those stirred by caring relationships with others motivate their work, while the intentional ways in which they attempt to disrupt power relations give shape to their approaches to teacher activism. Knowing their work will never truly be done and that the road they travel is often difficult, the teacher activists considered here persist because of the hope and possibility that their work might change the world. Like many pre-service educators or undergraduates contemplating teaching as a vocation, these teacher activists were not born ready for the work that they do. Yet by mining their biographical histories and trajectories of political development, this book illuminates the pedagogy of teacher activism that guides their work.

Download or read book The Story Takers written by Paula M. Salvio and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story-Takers charts new territory in public pedagogy through an exploration of the multiple forms of communal protests against the mafia in Sicily. Writing at the rich juncture of cultural, feminist, and psychoanalytic theories, Paula M. Salvio draws on visual and textual representations including shrines to those murdered by the mafia, photographs, and literary and cinematic narratives, to explore how trauma and mourning inspire solidarity and a quest for justice among educators, activists, artists, and journalists living and working in Italy. Salvio reveals how the anti-mafia movement is being brought out from behind the curtains, with educators leading the charge. She critically analyses six cases of communal acts of anti-mafia solidarity and argues that transitional justice requires radical approaches to pedagogy that are best informed by journalists, educators, and activists working to remember, not only victims of trauma, but those who resist trauma and violence.

Download or read book Spatialized Injustice in the Contemporary City written by S. Nombuso Dlamini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-12 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume documents research illustrating public dissents and interventions to injustice in modern-day cities. Authors present everyday occurrences of city life and place making; still, they show how the ordinary city grows from historical dimensions of injustice, violence and fear. Yet, ordinary citizens continue to make the city their own, to contribute to the creation of city structures and to contest those practices of spatial demarcation, which limit rather than uplift their everyday social livelihood. Chapters show how marginalized populations, from racial, to gendered, to the working poor, are part of the apparatus that makes the city function. However, their contributions to city arrangement and endurance are perpetually at the margins, and city spaces continue to be designed in ways that ignore and negate the existence of those who protest inequity. Novel to the volume are chapters that document and illustrate contestations of city spaces through artistic representation. Public spaces like schools, art galleries and museums are presented as central to projects of inhabiting, remembering and reimagining (in) the just city. Still, ordinary city spaces, like the public washroom, illustrate issues of gender inequity, spatial bias and other art-based protests. City dwellers interested in learning about ‘the making’ of the city; and those interested in the city as a space of possibilities – and the good life, will benefit from this volume. Scholars of geography, space, art and social justice will marvel and simultaneously be appalled by the everyday minute, yet shocking descriptions of the complexity – and unfairly structured city spaces in which they dwell.

Download or read book Hybrid Teaching written by Jesse Stommel and published by Hybrid Pedagogy Incorporated. This book was released on 2020-02-23 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can education survive in a post-truth era full of alternative facts and a reality-TV star armed with nuclear codes and a Twitter account? We must recognize that teaching is political. Schools need to help students counter the social erosion of trust in knowledge. Preserving that trust, we have seen, can help preserve democracy.Trust, like politics, involves people. In their classes, people learn to see themselves as members of communities and also to engage the world around them. Schools have a responsibility to support students as they learn. With the rise of anger-fueled nationalism around the world, it is clear that caring for others has never been so vital.It is also clear that technology and capitalism will not solve education's problems. Social media companies promise connection but create echo chambers and conspiracy-mongering. Ed-tech companies promise insights and solutions while delivering surveillance and suspicion. Education must connect the personal to the technological-it can no longer afford to work offline. All teaching is necessarily hybrid.Pedagogy, people, and politics influence each other, and educators of all stripes have an opportunity-a responsibility-to build human connections with ethical technology.Gathering the voices of over two dozen progressive educators, this volume combines perspectives from across academia and around the globe. The authors in this book use critical digital pedagogy as a guide for navigating today's turbulent global political climate. Timely and accessible, Hybrid Teaching challenges higher education faculty and administrators to consider the political implications-and the political power-of teaching.

Download or read book Revolution Rock written by John Haycock and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My theorisation of a public pedagogy of protest music is initially located in the persistent and pervasive mythology associating protest music-especially that produced as popular music in the 1960s-with social change. This thesis works to uncover understandings of the public pedagogical dimensions of protest music, as it takes place and is facilitated by protest musicians, as a radical practice and critical form of contemporary mass culture. In order to do this, I identify and explore critical and radical relationships between protest music, adult learning and education, and social change, as interactions between these contexts occur in global mass-(multi)media spaces. Research is carried out in a two-stage methodological approach of domain analysis and case study on the protest music band Midnight Oil. Based on this, my thesis provides a theorisation of public pedagogy as it encapsulates protest music, and those I conceptualise as the critical and radical public pedagogues who produce this mass cultural form. Additionally, my thesis: - conceptualises protest music as a form of popular music and in terms of its relationship with the global mass-(multi)media; - establishes and theorises the relationship between protest music, critical pedagogy and radical adult education; and - discusses how Midnight Oil, as purveyors of protest music, understand and can be understood in terms of the relationship between popular music and social change.

Download or read book Activism across Borders since 1870 written by Daniel Laqua and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-10 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Occupy protests to the Black Lives Matter movement and school strikes for climate action, the twenty-first century has been rife with activism. Although very different from one another, each of these movements has created alliances across borders, with activists stressing that their concerns are not confined to individual nation states. In this book, Daniel Laqua shows that global efforts of this kind are not a recent phenomenon, and that as long as there have been borders, activists have sought to cross them. Activism Across Borders since 1870 explores how individuals, groups and organisations have fostered bonds in their quest for political and social change, and considers the impact of national and ideological boundaries on their efforts. Focusing on Europe but with a global outlook, the book acknowledges the importance of imperial and postcolonial settings for groups and individuals that expressed far-reaching ambitions. From feminism and socialism to anti-war campaigns and green politics, this book approaches transnational activism with an emphasis on four features: connectedness, ambivalence, transience and marginality. In doing so, it demonstrates the intertwined nature of different movements, problematizes transnational action, discusses the temporary nature of some alliances, and shows how transnationalism has been used by those marginalized at the national level. With a broad chronological perspective and thematic chapters, it provides historical context, clarifies terms and concepts, and offers an alternative history of modern Europe through the lens of activists, movements and campaigns.
