New podcast episode takes a deep dive into the storied legacy of “Plantation Pedagogy” with Dr. Bayley Marquez

Podcast highlights how "Plantation Pedagogy" shaped U.S. Imperialism

This June, while many of us were catching up on long-awaited summer reading, Dr. Bayley Marquez sat down with Max Jacobs, host of the podcast "New Books in Education," to discuss Marquez's debut monograph Plantation Pedagogy: The Violence of Schooling Across Black and Indigenous Space (U California Press, 2024).

This deeply engaging conversation rests at the intersection of Black and Native studies, and highlights Marquez's investigation into how nineteenth and twentieth century, educators and policymakers developed a system of industrial education aimed at transforming Black and Indigenous peoples and land. Marquez calls this form of teaching "plantation pedagogy," arguing that it was fundamentally linked to slavery, land dispossession, and violence.
