Although social movements are frequently background and occasionally foreground in the studies of anthropologists of education, the knowledges produced by movements have seldom been a focus of our work. In this Reflection on the Field, I argue that investigating the production and circulation of social movement knowledges, as contextualized by educational processes and spaces, can enrich our understanding of the roles of education and movements in struggles for justice and social change.
