An activist-scholar, Aziz has been involved in a range of social, political and environmental justice movements and organisations, and his scholarly articles have been published in International Education, Globalizations, Global Labour Journal, Post-Colonial Directions in Education, McGill Journal of Education, Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Education, International Journal of Lifelong Education, Studies in Social Justice and Race and Class, Education for Change, and Interface, among many others.

Aziz will be speaking on the just-published History's Schools: Past struggles and present realities, which he co-edited with Salim Vally. Including case studies from South Africa, Palestine, Iran, Argentina, the US and the UK, the book seeks to understand relationships between learning, knowledge production, history and social change: how do educators and activists in today’s struggles use historical materials from earlier periods of organizing for political education? How do they create and engage with independent and often informal archives and debates? How do they ultimately connect this historical knowledge with contemporary struggles?
