Another Education Is Possible

About Another Education Is Possible

Through struggle, we learn. And through learning, we struggle. But how do these processes work together? And how can we orient our learning toward the kinds of struggles that matter? This podcast explores these questions (and more!) through rich, sprawling conversations with organizers working inside and outside of conventional classrooms. For the third season, Jordan is joined by comrades Eli and Olive to focus on radical projects around the world that are working toward liberatory learning on their own terms. From South Mexico to Palestine to Philadelphia, what alternative educational worlds are already in existence? How are they maintained, despite all odds, and how can we proliferate them? Join us to hear first-hand about what possibilities lie beyond traditional classrooms, and what education can look like when it’s unbound from capitalism, colonialism, and the state. We can’t promise easy answers, but we can promise, in the spirit of the Zapatistas, to keep on asking questions as we walk the path.
