Radical Educators in Grassroot Contexts

In a time of social, political, economic, and environmental crisis, there is growing recognition of the need for a radical education for social transformation. Whether confronting climate change, environmental degradation and biodiversity collapse, endemic racism and enduring systems of neo-imperialism and colonialism, genocide in Palestine, broken promises of social mobility and rising economic inequality, political extremism, social fragmentation, and cultural alienation, many now call for a form of education that does not teach us how to fit into the world as it currently exists, to gain skills and knowledge to become good workers in the capitalist marketplace, but rather an education that enables and empowers us to change the world we live in, fosters our radical imagination, and enhances our tools of critique and strategies of collective action, so that we can together create another, more just and sustainable world in the future.
