Activist Educators

The authors write a queered autoethnographic text that illuminates a course encounter with ontological inquiry to prepare radically democratic citizen-leaders and activist educators within the constraints of the corporatized neoliberal university. They seek to touch, move, and inspire readers to experiment with this counterintuitive form of learning as a critical pathway toward the realization of John Dewey’s moral meaning of democracy and the institutions of the society foster the all-around growth of all participants.
