After 35 years of print publication we are coming out from behind the paywalls and moving to on-line, open access publication, through the University of Pittsburgh Library System. Check us out at

Radical Teacher issue #96, "Occupy and Education," was inspired by the quick spread of Occupy Wall Street across the U.S. and beyond. The campsites, assemblies, improvised methods of self-government, marches, slogans, and disruptions refreshed opposition to Wall Street's dominion, and set in motion many campaigns of resistance and renewal.
Inseparable from such activism was a vast project of political education: workshops, courses, theoretical lectures, steaming polemics, teach-ins, posters, newspaper, libraries, experiments in democratic pedagogy, and much else. Political education spilled out of Occupy sites, not just into the streets but to campuses and classrooms, buses and subways, radio, television, the internet. This issue of Radical Teacher is about some of the political education that Occupy set in motion: about how learning tied in with action, about how it changed public discussion of inequality and of democratic possibility.
