Another Education Is Possible

Another Education Is Possible

Education is a lifelong process. It’s also a site of struggle. Our podcast aims to uncover the global histories and educational practices that both inhibit and nurture liberation struggles. With the genocide in Gaza entering its second year, and the occupation of Palestine its seventy-sixth, season 1 takes aim at the settler colonial ideology of Zionism. Using a method of educational biography, we explore how unruly Jewish folks study against and unlearn this ideology to work in solidarity toward a free Palestine. Please join us as we uncover a diverse range of intimate stories, educational trajectories, and tactical analyses that have influenced the slow but critical work of challenging Zionism.
