​​​​​​Where does pedagogy happen and who is it for? Where has pedagogy always been and where has it been ignored? Co-edited by Gabrielle Civil, Andrea Quaid, and Allison Yasukawa, Migrating Pedagogies invites teachers, students, writers, artists, and activists to locate teaching and learning in their lived experiences. Key topics include creation, curation, aspiration, intelligence, frustration, desire, decoloniality, disability, performance, poetics, process, protest, and more. This anthology republishes thirteen, limited edition Migrating Pedagogies pamphlets and includes work from new contributors along with a foreword and introduction. Drawing from perspectives of cultural workers inside and outside of the academy, this volume also documents readings, workshops, events, postcards, zines, and artworks. Migrating Pedagogies highlights feminist pedagogy as a lived, material, relational process, perpetually on the move.​
