On Justice, Pedagogy, and Decolonial(Izing) Praxis.

This paper goes beyond — transcends — "pedagogy as justice," recognizing that justice, particularly in these present times, may not be enough. Its wager is with pedagogies of and for life; pedagogies that plant and cultivate, that push and enable other modes of living, despite the capitalist‐modern‐colonial‐racist system, beyond the system, and in the system's margins, borders, fissures, and cracks. These pedagogies, as Catherine Walsh argues here, are necessarily tied to and constitutive of decolonial(izing) praxis, a praxis that, while not negating justice, takes us beyond it. The argument here is for the pedagogical‐praxistical work being done now, and yet to be done; the actional thought, thoughtful action, and ongoing creation and construction of an otherwise for existence, for dignity, and for life in these times of multiple entwined pandemic‐viruses, including capitalist greed, systemic racism, heteropatriarchy, and existential‐territorial dispossession in which COVID is/was one more thread of the entwine.
