Freirean Ped & Soc Justice

Catalog description

Freirean Pedagogy and Social Justice: This course explores Freirean pedagogy as a source of inspiration for anti-oppressive and revolutionary teaching around the world. The course will examine the possibilities and limitations of Freirean pedagogy for helping people name and change social and educational realities premised upon injustices. It looks at the work of those who apply, extend, and critique the Freirean perspective and offers a unique transdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary approach that promotes social justice and the science of wellbeing—which are based on better distribution of resources.
