The confluence of popular education and social movement studies into social movement learning: A systematic literature review

El activismo mediático del 15M como herramienta para la producción de conocimiento: acción pedagógica, aprendizajes y ventanas de oportunidad

“…En ambos casos el aprendizaje puede ocurrir de manera informal o como resultado de actividades intencionales. En los últimos años se han establecido conexiones entre perspectivas sociopolíticas y sociopedagógicas en el estudio de los movimientos (Kuk & Tarlau, 2020;Niesz et al, 2018), sin embargo, no hay evidencias de diálogo entre estas y el ámbito de la comunicación social o educativa.…”

Education for just transitions: Lifelong learning and the 30th anniversary Human Development Report

“…Drawing on the popular education tradition (Freire 1972 ), there is a growing body of literature on social movement learning, and the role that civil society plays in the type of transgressive learning discussed above. One could name here the feminist movement transgressing socially accepted patriarchal norms, the labour movement transgressing capitalist economic relations, the environmental movement transgressing the prevailing culture of consumerism (Walters and von Kotze 2019 ; Kuk and Tarlau 2020 ), the Indigenous social movements in Latin America transgressing anthropocentrism and seeking to recognise rights to nature itself (Espinosa 2014 ) and the agroecology social movement transgressing the domination of capital over nature (Rosset et al 2019 ). However, this literature on social movement learning neglects the role of faith communities in popular education, even though more than 80 per cent of the global population is estimated to belong to a religious group.…”

We look at a particularly neglected aspect of lifelong learning, namely, the role of faith communities in forming communities of practice (Wenger 1998 ) and social movement learning (Holst 2018 ; Walters and von Kotze 2019 ; Kuk and Tarlau 2020 ). We critically examine these non-formal adult educational spaces in preparing individuals for just transitions.…”

Is There a Place for Popular Adult Education in the Managerial University?

“…On the other hand, the planning group pondered how popular adult education should respond to domestic issues the government and economic elite emphasise, such as the need for new skills and competencies to run even faster in the global economic competition. These themes have also been on the top of the list in global interactions between popular educators and social movements under the umbrella concept of social movement learning and collective learning (see, e.g., Kuk & Tarlau, 2020;Holst, 2011;Zielińska et al, 2011).…”
