"The book is an accomplished insight into the transformative power of educational movements which ignite hope in dire times." -- Research Intelligence "In these precarious times, The Pedagogy of Radical Change underscores the urgency of resistance, reminding us that social movements are not relics of the past but vital forces shaping the future. Spyros Themelis offers a compelling testament to the necessity of collective struggle, demonstrating that in the face of rising authoritarianism, the fight for justice, education, and human dignity is more critical than ever. In these pages, the struggle for a more just world is not an abstract ideal-it is already unfolding in classrooms, collectives, and movements worldwide that insist on the radical possibility of another future. The Pedagogy of Radical Change is not merely an academic intervention; it is a battle cry, amplifying the voices of those who refuse to yield to the forces of neoliberalism and repression." --Peter McLaren, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Los Angeles, USA "Themelis shows us how, in the midst of political crisis and economic austerity, new kinds of educational practice have emerged. He has written an invaluable history of the present - a committed and insightful analysis of movements for political and social change that are novel in their arguments and rich in their implications." --Anna Traianou, Head of Centre for Identities and Social Justice, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK "This book offers a timely and politically engaged examination of the role of social movements in shaping higher education and broader social futures .

The Pedagogy of Radical Change will be of particular value to scholars of higher education, critical pedagogy and social movements, as well as educators seeking to reconnect their teaching and research with questions of democracy, justice and collective action. At a moment when universities are increasingly framed through metrics, markets and managerialism, Themelis' book offers a compelling reminder of higher education's potential as a space of socially engaged knowledge production and transformative pedagogical practice." --Lucas Moreira dos Anjos Santos, Senior Lecturer, Intercultural Studies, Monash University, AU, Educational Review.
