Skate/worlds brings together writers, educators, researchers and social workers who use skateboarding as a learning tool. Can skateboarding be a school subject? Is it therapeutic? Why do skaters learn to move sideways? What do you learn from falling and failing? And how can skateboarding help parents with raising newborns?
This volume chronicles how we can learn to skate and learn from skateboarding – zooming in on topics including gestalt therapy, high school education, opensource learning communities, DIY peer support, care work, motherhood, anticolonial pedagogy, and grassroots advocacy.
