Call for papers: Issue 33, July-October 2025

Educational issues are not restricted only to the realm of formal education: subjectivities may be constituted in non-formal or informal spaces, and even in those not intentionally designed to that end.

Focusing on other areas beyond the school allows us to bring into discussion the reach and limitations of this privileged space of production of subjects. Out there, away from the boundaries of this device, we find other realms of intentional and/or incidental formation that also shape subjectivities and produce various effects. Teacher, student and social movements produce acting subjects that reshape themselves individually and collectively through their actions, and that in their organized action even  produce changes in the educational policies that affect them or allow for new policies to emerge. Such is the focus of this call for papers: the formative dimensions of the activism and participation in mobilization processes, as well as their possible intersections with the production or reorientation of public policies in this sector. Therefore, we call for papers that address:

1) learning generated intentionally in schools, or formative initiatives related to collective organization,

2) constructed knowledge that shapes subjectivities on the experience of inhabiting teacher/student or social movements,

3) the way in which certain educational policies produce organized resistance, and even

4) how these mobilizations gain such force that they succeed in generating changes in the formulation or reorientation of policies in this sector.

We are also interested in papers that address the educational dimension of social movements, formal educational proposals generated within historical social organizations, people’s educational projects born out of mobilization, as well as political education and its formative proposals, all of the above addressed rigorously through different theoretical and methodological approaches. Finally, we encourage proposals that discuss theoretical/methodological knowledge and approaches on the spaces of formative work and their specific link with teacher, student and social mobilizations.

** We will only receive texts that address the Main Theme.
