- Abstract:
- What would happen if a college instructor asked students to design their own syllabus, figure out what they wanted to learn, and run a class on their own? In other words, how would a classroom work if established on anarchist principles? I conducted my own socio-pedagogical experiment within a class on the subject of anarchism to answer these very questions. I wanted to know if the daily practice of anarchy within a course could actually help students to learn more about anarchism (and even become anarchist).
