“…Despite its recreational beginnings, skateboarding soon became associated with antiauthoritarian philosophies and politics, which were entangled with those of punk rock. Both subcultures center oppositional orientations toward mainstream norms, do-it-yourself approaches to problem-solving, and the belief that growth is the sole responsibility of the individual (Dinces, 2011;Romero, 2016Romero, , 2018Romero, , 2020. The oppositional philosophy of skate culture is evident in its iconographyshirts and boards emblazoned with slogans like Skate and Destroy, Skateboarding is Not a Crime, and This Toy Kills Fascists.…”

This paper draws from a new materialist interpretation of Maya Angelou’s Caged Bird to analyze how Queer and Indigenous skateboarders develop critical and community-responsive ways of knowing and being. This analysis is contrasted with the implications of skateboarding’s Olympic debut to theorize how non-dominant groups build self-supporting enclaves in spite of concerted efforts to regulate and exclude them from public life. Skateboarding is herein conceptualized as a critical pedagogy which enables participants to reclaim space, achieve self-defined learning goals, and challenge the authority of oppressive institutions built upon what Angelou calls “the grave of dreams.”

“…PRP holds that punks, through their participation in subcultural formations, often teach, learn, produce, and contest knowledge about the contemporary struggles and historical positionality of marginalized, minoritized, and colonized people (Cordova, 2017). PRP holds that “being and becoming punk is a context-specific educative process that consists of three pillars: 1) historically responsive analyses of the material conditions of oppression, 2) the use of punk music as a theoretical framework for contextualizing this historical inquiry, and 3) community responsive action rooted in solidarity with marginalised groups” (Romero, 2020b: p. 4). PRP demonstrates how communitarian forms of education can disrupt the ossification of oppressive social formations.…”

This article utilizes looks to punk rock pedagogy or the ways in which countercultural and decolonial ontologies are developed in punk subculture, to theorize Māori-Philippine relations in Aotearoa New Zealand. It uses an agential realist methodology to engage with the creative works of TOOMS, James Roque, and Marianne Infante (three New Zealand performing artists of Philippine ancestry). These works read through historiographic accounts of the Philippine diaspora to theorize how contemporary independent artists are reviving the ancestral bonds that once linked the Philippines and the Pacific. Theorizing Māori-Philippine relations through punk rock shows what Indigenous and immigrant peoples stand to gain when they decenter the colonizer and prioritize communing with one another.

Reclaiming the Cultural Politics of Teaching and Learning

Despite often being associated with anti-establishment, irreverent, and a do-it yourself (DIY) rejection of dominant culture, less considered may the collaborative, communal and curative threads of punk thinking, being and doing. From the outset, punk offered critiques and alternative ways of conceptualizing a world and ways of worlding, that aren't as harmful and constraining as those encountered by many in the dominant milieu of life. This monograph is focused on how and why punk can productively contribute to efforts that are responding to the influences of dominant culture in education, such as the effects of standardization, heightened accountabilities, and 'gap talk'. For this Element, punk can be thought of as social practices that generate cultural resources that can be utilized to critique dominant culture. Hence, this Element aims to make the case that punk sensibilities offer educators opportunities to reclaim the cultural politics of teaching and learning.
