  • Education as Pathways (Molly Hamm-Rodriguez on human capital, youth resistance, and the many reasons of language learning)

    As we have explored several times on this podcast, education can be an opportunity. But, for what is it an opportunity? Who gets to pursue which opportunities? In this episode, Dr. Molly Hamm-Rodriguez poses these questions to explore youth workforce programs in the Dominican Republic and U.S. Where these programs aim to make education serve the racialized logics of human capital, Molly shows how youth navigate, resist, and negotiate. In doing so, they pursue language learning and other kinds of education for many purposes, including those that escape human capital.

  • Education as Play (Haeny Yoon and Nathan Holbert of Pop and Play)

    In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Haeny Yoon and Dr. Nathan Holbert, hosts of the podcast Pop and Play. Host Bosco engages in a conversation about how education can and cannot be play both in and out of school. Is play present in school even if it is not apparent? What do cooking recipes have to do with play in schools? Additionally, Haeny and Nathan discuss the nuances of play, when play is both a “good” and “bad” experience, though both play important roles in experiential learning.

  • Education as Abolition (Ndindi Kitonga on the pedagogies of solidarity, activism, and democratic eduction)

    Ndindi Kitonga, PhD - educator, organizer, activist and co-founder of Angeles Workshop School - joins guest host Roy Danovitch to explore the pedagogical and political meanings of solidarity. Drawing from her experience growing up in Kawangware, Kenya, and her teaching and activism in Los Angeles and beyond, Ndindi frames anti-colonial pedagogy, democratic schooling, and mutual aid as inseparable and mutually constituting practices. We talk about alienation, abolitionism, youth voice, and why another education isn't just possible - it’s already being built.
