Pedagogy of the Oppressed: Noam Chomsky, Howard Gardner, and Bruno della Chiesa
Published on May 24, 2013
On Wednesday, May 1, the Askwith Forum commemorated the 45th anniversary of the publication of Paolo Freire‘s “Pedagogy of the Oppressed” with a discussion about the book’s impact and relevance to education today.
understand your own oppression – it’s not a law of nature..
33 min – consciousness raising.. thinking for yourself..
45 min – wow – may day in rest of world.. supporting suppressed americans with their 8 hour work day
48 – the reason frerie is unknown – he wasn’t just talking about literacy, if he’d been saying.. here’s a nice method for teaching literacy,… but instead.. it was about literacy as a means for raising questions…
56 min – it’s statistics for god’s sake (pisa et al)
57- put everything in numbers – to look serious – but also to not go deeper.. you quit asking once numbers are presented..
