From Settler Colonialism to Social Justice: Transforming US Schools through Guerrilla Pedagogy
Armen Alvarez; Mariela A. Rodriguez
Journal of Educational Supervision, v7 n2 Article 1 p1-14 2024
This case examines the pressing need for systemic equity and social justice in educational structures in the society of the United States (US). The case critiques the inadequate responses to racial justice and highlights the challenges faced in enacting meaningful educational reform amidst declining patriotism and cultural schisms. Introducing guerrilla pedagogy as a theoretical framework, the case seeks to contextualize the importance of enfranchising educators and students to act as agents of change. By examining the historical roots of settler colonialism and its impact on education, the scholarly foundation leading to the case emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and addressing historical injustices to prevent their perpetuation. The transformative potential of guerrilla pedagogy is demonstrated in its ability to dismantle oppressive structures and foster a more just and inclusive educational system. Overall, this manuscript aims to provoke a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between guerrilla pedagogy and settler colonialism, offering strategic insights to challenge oppressive power dynamics in education as part of the ongoing development of a culturally responsive instructional supervision framework.
