Radical University

Radical: Adj. (esp. of change or action) Relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough.

Radical education: We live in a world marked by entrenched hierarchies based on race, class, caste, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and ability; a gap between the rich and poor both within and between nations that keeps growing; and environmental crises and wars that are either caused by or made more difficult to address because of these hierarchies. Radical education is education geared to deep social change. It serves to to identify and critique structures, institutions, attitudes, beliefs and norms that foster injustice, inequality, and domination, as well as provide space for imagining and building alternatives.
