New UGP publication: Skate/worlds
The book Skate/worlds: new pedagogies for skateboarding is now available online and open access at University of Groningen Press (UGP).
The book is edited by Sander Hölsgens and Adelina Ong.
About the book
Skate/worlds brings together writers, educators, and activists who research skateboarding as a prefigurative learning tool. Can skateboarding be therapeutic? Does it align with efforts to queer and decolonise education? And how to parent as a skater? As the ecology of skateboarding expands and diversifies, the sensation of moving sideways gains socio-political and pedagogical relevance.
This edited volume chronicles how we both learn to skate and learn from skateboarding – zooming in on topics including gestalt therapy, care work, motherhood, and grassroots advocacy.
