Race, Empire and Education Collective

Jarvis Givens examines African American education through the lens of what he calls Fugitive Pedagogy – defiant practices by black Americans to acquire education (e.g. literacy) and to challenge white supremacist systems.  Jarvis traces histories of such pedagogies in the United States, demonstrating how black people subverted their exclusion from education in big and small ways.   

What can we learn from these fugitive practices and how do they remain relevant today in the US but also in other national contexts?
