We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom
by Bettina Love
Description
In this powerful work, Bettina L. Love argues that education must be more than a response to harm—it should be a practice of freedom. Drawing on abolitionist teaching, she explores how schools can be redesigned to affirm students’ humanity, challenge oppressive systems, and cultivate joy, critical consciousness, and collective liberation. Through high-level discussions of pedagogy, community, and justice, the book traces what it means to pursue educational freedom in the face of inequity and institutional control. Blending research-informed insight with a deeply human, activist lens, Love offers educators and readers a compelling framework for transforming classrooms into sites of resistance and possibility.
