Paulo Freire and Critical Pedagogy
This course will introduce you to the Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Paulo Freire, which, in my opinion, is one of the most significant works on Critical and progressive pedagogy. If you are a teacher, scholar, student, or an activist, knowing this book and the philosophy that it articulates will enable you to be better at understanding the world and motivated to work towards creating a more just and equitable world.
This course is organized in video lectures that include my discussions of Frerie's major concepts, chapter by chapter discussions, followed by more elaborate conceptual and philosophical discussions. Here is what you will be able to clearly discern and understand after the course:
How powerful systems keep us entrenched in dehumanizing systems?
What is the difference between top-down (Banking) system of education and what Freire calls the "Problem Solving Education."
How education must function as a project of emancipation?
How to create liberatory and emancipating curriculum.
How to bring about the kind of social change that empowers people to live their lives as autonomous and free social beings.
Besides the video lectures, the course also includes textual resources, links to longer and more detailed videos, and links to the resources on my website. I am also open to any suggestions that you might have and would incorporate them as and when I revise this course. So, please feel free to reach out to me through the course messaging system with your questions, queries, and suggestions.
