Engaging Citizens: The Kent Miners and Workers' Education for the Common Good
Linden West
FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, v66 n3 p41-55 2024
This article embodies a kind of backward travelling by revisiting the history of workers' education in a mining community as part of our contemporary struggle to reinvigorate notions of the common good and popular education. Its focus is the complexities of working-class history, disparaged in neoliberal condescension and oversimplified in some progressive thought: a history of contention and struggle, yet rich in experiment in dialogical, democratic and cooperative learning.
