Freeing Education — Conversation 1: Deconstruction, Refusal, Departure

Join No More Exclusions, Haymarket Books, and Hajar Press for a series of conversations on abolitionist education. Over the course of three online discussions, No More Exclusions will bring together radical voices from the UK and international community to develop an abolitionist vision of education. Exchanges will take place across different contexts, linking them via shared themes of community, resistance, and liberation in the face of education systems that insist on violence. ———————————————————————— Conversation 1: Deconstruction, Refusal, Departure The first conversation will focus on unpicking the harms of schooling as part of a wider system of carceral feminism and imperialism, before turning to explore the transformational work that is currently in progress and taking stock of the struggle in education from an international perspective. --------------------------------------------------------------------- About No More Exclusions https://nomoreexclusions.com/ No More Exclusions is a grassroots abolitionist coalition working to end exclusion in education in all its forms.
