ABSTRACT
This essay will speak to anarchist pedagogical praxis. By this, I mean teaching or learning practices that are shaped by and also shape anarchist theory. Given the great diversity of anarchist theory, as illustrated by this reader, how might we conceptualize an anarchist pedagogy (philosophy of teaching and education) and epistemology (construction of “knowledge”)? How might we develop space for physical, intellectual, and artistic growth free from hierarchy and domination? In the following sections I present a possible conceptualization of anarchist pedagogy and illustrate the need for developing alternative and subversive practices in education. In closing, I present some pragmatic steps for educators and students alike to create and employ anarchistic pedagogical space.
