Abstract

This article takes as starting point the understanding that liberal democracy is in crisis. The article draws upon a systematic review of the literature to examine alternative democratic discourses, including radical democracy as conceived by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. Following their work, it is understood that political education should facilitate opportunities for students to open, expand and change our existing democratic arrangements. Political education framed in these terms could follow three types of pedagogies: pedagogies of difference, pedagogies of articulation and pedagogies of equivalence. The article concludes by drawing upon existing qualitative research by author Edda Sant to consider examples of what these pedagogies could look like in practice.
