School Mining Clubs in Kono, Sierra Leone: The Practices and Imaginaries of a Pedagogy of Protest against Social Injustice in a Conflict-Affected Context
Higgins, Sean
Globalisation, Societies and Education, v16 n4 p478-493 2018
This paper takes as a case study the pedagogical practices emergent from the educational interventions of a civil society organisation in the conflict affected region of Kono, Sierra Leone. Using a cultural political economy approach, it highlights the possibilities of pedagogy being leveraged to protest against perceived and experienced social injustices. In so doing it contributes to understanding of a context-specific model of teacher agency, rooted in the local and global challenges faced by pupils and their communities. It thereby illuminates an alternative to the generic and decontextualized framings of pedagogy frequently offered in human rights and peace education curricula.
