Laboratories of Learning

Más información sobre el libro

Through exploring inspiring social movements and activists worldwide, Laboratories of Learning proves that the education and knowledge-making happening inside these campaigns is crucial for the future of social justice for all. It asks three simple but profound questions: How do good causes learn and make knowledge? What kinds of knowledge do these associations make? And how does it affect individual activists, campaigns, and even whole societies? Written in collaboration with leading activists from different social organizations 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 grassroots organizing, working at the intersection of theory and practice, pushing the boundaries of new thinking and the limits of the possible.
