Education; Moral & social purpose of education

Series: Peace and Human Rights Education

This book explores how minority-led skateboarding, punk rock, and unschooling communities engage in collective efforts to humanize education and construct kinder social frameworks. Noah Romero examines the roles of informal and community-embedded learning in actualizing transformative education and shows how decolonizing education can take place outside of school settings.

Grounded in the author’s own experience in minority-led Filipino subcultures, the book introduces a conceptual framework of subcultural learning and decolonizing education centred on the Philippines and its diaspora in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Romero argues that educational paradigms with peace, human rights, multiculturalism, social justice, and decolonization at the centre can extend beyond the classroom, curriculum, and teaching and into communities. By showing how minoritized people are redefining identity and knowledge through embodied community-responsive pedagogies, the book contributes to wider debates on Indigeneity, gender justice, human rights, peace studies, and decolonizing education.

Reviews for Decolonial Underground Pedagogy: Unschooling and Subcultural Learning for Peace and Human Rights

With keen attunement to history, power, and epistemology, Noah Romero explores the decolonial potential of punk rock, skateboarding, and unschooling. Decolonial Underground Pedagogy is a thoughtful text that illuminates how subcultural formations of the Philippine diaspora create pedagogical counterspaces for teaching, learning, and struggle against the violence of capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism. -- Graham B. Slater, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA Noah Romero has done a good job to introduce readers to discourses on decolonizing pedagogies. Drawing upon an intersectional framework through Punk and educational practices, this book will inform and entertain in equal measure. -- Kyle Barrett, Senior Lecturer in Media and Creative Technologies, The University of Waikato, New Zealand
