TY - JOUR AU - York, Matt PY - 2020/12/15 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Collective Visioning: Igniting the Radical Imagination JF - Radical Teacher JA - rt VL - 118 IS - SE - DO - 10.5195/rt.2020.739 UR - https://radicalteacher.library.pitt.edu/ojs/radicalteacher/article/view/739 SP - AB - <p>As the spaces which once existed within the university for the co-imagining of liberatory political praxes diminish, social movements are increasingly reverting to methods of collective visioning which have been developed on the streets to theorise radical social change.&nbsp; I argue that such methodologies provide important opportunities for a reappraisal of our hierarchical student/teacher relations, and make the case that we can collectively learn much more from within our movements than anyone might hope to teach us from outside.&nbsp; The article traces our current movement wave, and locates contemporary forms of collective visioning within a wider lineage of knowledge co-production in social movements.&nbsp; The neoliberal subversion of university education is examined, and proposals made for ways in which we might challenge these hegemonic conditions.&nbsp; I conclude that the liberatory epistemologies and forms of knowledge co-production explored in this article offer significant potential for developing new modes of praxis for our current wave of ecological and anti-capitalist activists both inside and outside the university.</p> ER -
