Honoring student resistance

This essay honors student resistance and calls on communication educators to not only include but to center student activism as emergent case studies in navigating political life in late capitalism. Failure to do so, this forum essay argues, lends itself to ahistorical claims that organizing and learning are at odds when they have been and remain co-constitutive forces, particularly in the political context of institutionalized education.

Abstract

This essay honors student resistance and calls on communication educators to not only include but to center student activism as emergent case studies in navigating political life in late capitalism. Failure to do so, this forum essay argues, lends itself to ahistorical claims that organizing and learning are at odds when they have been and remain co-constitutive forces, particularly in the political context of institutionalized education.
