Published: Sept. 26, 2022, 8:57 p.m.

Join No More Exclusions, Haymarket Books, and Hajar Press for a series of conversations on abolitionist education.\n\nOver the course of three online discussions, No More Exclusions will bring together radical voices from the UK and international community to develop an abolitionist vision of education. Exchanges will take place across different contexts, linking them via shared themes of community, resistance, and liberation in the face of education systems that insist on violence.\n\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\n\nConversation 1: Deconstruction, Refusal, Departure\n\nThe first conversation will focus on unpicking the harms of schooling as part of a wider system of carceral feminism and imperialism, before turning to explore the transformational work that is currently in progress and taking stock of the struggle in education from an international perspective.\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAbout No More Exclusions\nhttps://nomoreexclusions.com/\n\nNo More Exclusions is a grassroots abolitionist coalition working to end exclusion in education in all its forms.\n\nYou can find out more about NME\u2019s work here: https://bit.ly/3Pf9mW0.\n\nIf you are able, please consider making a solidarity donation to NME\u2019s crowdfunder here: https://bit.ly/3aPAvQv.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nZahra Bei (she/her) is a Recovering Teacher and Organizer with No More Exclusions.\n\nLola Olufemi (she/they) is a black feminist writer and CREAM/Stuart Hall Foundation researcher from London.\n\nSara Bafo (she/her) is an Organiser with No More Exclusions\n\nCradle Community is a collective experimenting with how we build transformative justice and community accountability in our communities.
