Opis

Laboratories of Learning proves, through exploring inspiring social movements and activists around the world, that the education and knowledge making happening inside these movements is crucial for the future of social justice for all. It asks three simple but profound questions: How do movements learn and make knowledge? What kinds of knowledge do movements make? And what is its effect on individual activists, movements, and even whole societies? Written in collaboration with leading activists from different movements in Turkey, Colombia, Nepal and South Africa, each case shows that these activists in the Global South, working in some of the most complex and conflict-affected contexts, can offer us exciting insights into the myriad of ways that movements learn and produce knowledge as they struggle for a better world. Designed to inspire and innovate, Laboratories of Learning is an opportunity for activists to learn new, ground-breaking ideas, born out of moments working at the intersection of theory and practice, pushing the boundaries of new thinking and the limits of the possible.
