Today, some of the most interesting, dynamic and relevant learning spaces in education understood broadly are generative in-between spaces or what we are calling “third spaces” that allow us to imagine new ways of learning and working together, relating to each other, and imagining an alternative humane and just world. These in-between spaces are counter-hegemonic, holding great promise for democratizing social institutions and developing a radical imaginary for social change that some theorists call post-capitalism. These third spaces are heterogeneous and span a range of sites, such as art activist collectives, workers collectives, memory spaces, environmental organizations, high school student activist groups, and human rights organizations.
This course will explore these in-between/third spaces through a multi-sensory and interdisciplinary way of learning in order to capture their embodied nature: readings, creative workshops, field trips, art projects, and lectures. Some questions we will address are: What can we learn from these “third spaces”? How do these spaces conceptualize pedagogy, even if they do not see themselves as educational? What might collective pedagogical practice look, feel, and sound like? This course is designed to be a living syllabus; one, which is tentative, fluid, and evolving so that it can accommodate student’s interests and shift as new questions emerge.
