内容説明
Educators continue to feel the influence of Paulo Freire-now even more than when his work first appeared in the U.S. more than twenty-five years ago. This volume illuminates the recent work of teacher-scholars who take critical pedagogy one step further, demonstrating new ways to connect their fields to classroom practice. The third in a series of essays devoted to the memory of Paulo Freire, "Education Is Politics, Postsecondary" focuses on the college classroom, representing views from a range of disciplines. You'll discover critical pedagogy in classrooms devoted to the media, AIDS education, women's studies, disability studies, technology, statistics, and sociology, to name a few. You'll read hands-on reports from teachers who successfully experimented with innovative approaches to teaching. You'll read essays written by some important names in education and some noted Freirean innovators as well as lesser-known scholars whose work deserves wider reading. Although these educators work in different fields and in different classrooms, they have much in common. They have discovered that critical teaching begins with challenges to the status quo. They recognize that through critical pedagogy, we can invite students to question the way things are and imagine alternatives. This volume will be indispensable in college courses that focus on issues of race, class, and gender in education. It will be just as valuable to adult basic educators, community and worker educators, and teacher trainers.
