Engaging Critical Pedagogy In Education Global Phenomenon Local Praxis | Education

Presenting cutting-edge research from around the world this book demonstrates how critical pedagogy is shaped by social-political contexts and ideological constructions of knowledge and power. The edited collection brings together a global author team using critical pedagogy to synthesise political and theoretical ambitions with the complex realities of classroom practice. The book addresses two key questions: what does critical pedagogy look like in educative work with young people around the globe? And how can critical praxis enacted in schools and classrooms push the core tenets of critical pedagogy so that they are more responsive to the complex power relations of the real world? Bringing together chapters that create a nuanced understanding of some of the challenges involved in the intersection of ideologies systems and institutions the authors offer a set of resources which respond to claims that critical pedagogy is often little more than emancipatory rhetoric with limited practical application. Spanning almost two decades of pedagogical thinking practice outreach community development and activism this robust volume will be of great interest to researchers and postgraduate students investigating critical education curriculum creative thinking and pedagogies. |Engaging Critical Pedagogy in Education Global Phenomenon Local Praxis | Education
