History and Profile

Radical Teacher was founded in 1975.[2][3] It is published to the public three times per year by the University Library System at the University of Pittsburgh. Radical Teacher headquarters resides in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The academic journal publishes articles of interest to radical educators at all levels of education. It reports on pedagogy and curriculum, as well as on educational issues related to gender and sexuality, globalization, race, disability and similar topics.[4] The journal attempts to examine the root causes of inequality and promotes the idea that educators should also be activists who work for progressive social change. In order to be published into the academic journal each article is rigorously reviewed by dozens of individuals with a background in education from across the United States.

Each issue of the magazine has a theme to which most of the articles relate. Themes that have been covered in the past include "Teaching in a Time of War", "Teaching Black Lives Matter", "Race in the Classroom", and "Beyond Identity Politics". In addition to articles, Radical Teacher also includes book reviews, teaching notes, and news for educational workers.

Subscription to this academic journal is free and the form can be completed through their website.[5]

Blog

Radical Teacher has extended itself and currently has a blog that can be reached through their website. The blog follows the same topic format as the journal, but is updated in real-time. The blog allows individuals not only a real-time update on educational issues, but it is also in an easily accessible, electronic format. Blog posts are not repeated in the journal releases.[6]
