Viva La Revolucion-ish: The Teacher-Scholar-Activist as Guerilla

Cheri Lemieux-Spiegel

Abstract

This essay examines the complexities involved in taking up and sustaining one’s work as a teacher-scholar-activist working within literacy education today.  Spiegel argues that the guerrilla moniker may be a productive metaphor through which faculty can see and resee their positioning and approach to their work.  Focusing upon guerrilla cause, band, and tactics, she provides guided heuristics to help faculty shape their response to local context as exigencies compete, resources drain, and terrain shifts.
