*Although the term “edupunk” might be seen as yet another buzzword in the ever-changing lexicon of online learning, it can actually be interpreted as the latest reincarnation of a rather venerable tradition in education: the “popular education movement,” which has taken a number of different forms over the past 100 years or more, and which has deep but progressive political and philosophical roots. In this presentation, Dr. Norm Friesen, Canada Research Chair in E-Learning Practices at Thompson Rivers University, will first describe and define current forms of activism and activity that have been associated with the term “edupunk.” He will then trace some of the antecedents or roots of these forms back to political and cultural theorists such as Raymond Williams and Antonio Gramsci, and the movements and politics with which they were associated. *
