Education: Pedagogy of the Oppressed
This course will introduce you to the Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire, which is one of the most important works on critical and progressive pedagogy. If you're a teacher, scholar, student, or activist, knowing this book and its philosophy will help you better understand the world and motivate you to work toward a more just and equitable world.
This course is divided into video lectures, which include explanations of Freire's major concepts, chapter-by-chapter discussions, and more in-depth conceptual and philosophical discussions. How powerful systems keep you entrenched in dehumanizing systems?, what is the difference between the top-down (Banking) system of education and what Freire calls "Problem Solving Education", and how education must function as a project of emancipation are some of the things you will be able to clearly discern and understand after the course.
The course includes textual resources, links to longer and more detailed videos, and links to the instructor's website resources in addition to the video lectures. He is also open to any suggestions you may have, which he will take into account as he revises this course. So please feel free to contact him via the course messaging system if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
