Organized in collaboration with the Latin American Philosophy of Education Society (LAPES), Hacer Escuela focused on pedagogical innovations across Latin America, which were developing over the last two decades in spite of the increasing imposition of neoliberal measures. These innovations have given rise to new understandings of pedagogical relations, to what it means to be a subject of education, and of how educational practice can reconfigure public space.

 

The project centered on two workshops that focused on Latin American thinkers who develop philosophies of education while reconsidering traditions of European and Latin American critical theory and indigenous knowledges.

 

The project led to the development of several bibliographies and to the syllabus "Latin American Philosophies of Education" at Fordham University and to the publication of a pedagogy “handbook” consisting of theoretical reflections and descriptions of pedagogical practices in the journal Lápiz, issue no. 6. Following it, González Stokas published her book, Reparative Universities Why Diversity Alone Won't Solve Racism in Higher Ed with the Johns Hopkins University Press.
