Apocalyptic Education - The Audiobook

Apocalyptic Education is a transformative journey, presented by Tiffani Marie and Kenjus Watson, two critical Black educators. This audiobook invites listeners to participate in a funeral for schooling, marking the end of a violent regime and the beginning of remembered futures.

Through their personal narratives and research, Marie and Watson explore the deep-rooted traumas inflicted by American schooling systems on Black folk. Watson's exploration of the psychological impacts on young Black men through biomarkers of health reveals the hidden costs of their academic pursuits. In contrast, Marie's studies uncover pedagogical practices that could shield Black children from the ravages of systemic racism, challenging the status quo of schooling.

This audiobook is a call to dismantle and rebuild. Drawing inspiration from influential figures and the tradition of Black church call-and-response sensibilities, Marie and Watson advocate for Apocalyptic Education (AE) – a radical reimagining of learning rooted in African ancestral wisdom. This concept transcends traditional pedagogy, envisioning an education that truly serves and uplifts Black communities.

Apocalyptic Education is a space for mourning, reflection, and, most importantly, sacred memory. It encourages educators, students, and listeners from all walks of life to acknowledge the stench of decay emanating from the current schooling system and to embrace a new educational paradigm. Join Marie and Watson in this wake for schooling and be part of the movement towards a future where education is synonymous with well-being and sustainability.
