Illuminating Freire's Legacy: Praxes of Hope, Love, and "Appropriate Anger"

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In honor of Freire’s centennial, this session illuminates the impact of Freire’s philosophy on grassroots and institutional reforms of education. Authors share Freirean praxes fueled with anger and guided by hope and love, in various ways embodying “citizen scholarship” that acts upon injustice through education, inquiry, action, and reflection. Papers in this session demonstrate Freire’s international legacy in the transformation of education for learners of diverse abilities, teacher education, adult education, youth activism, the education of incarcerated youth, and doctoral research education, in Hong Kong, Turkey, and the US. Authors bring to the forefront possibilities for new ways of accepting educational responsibility by recommitting to emancipatory goals and humanizing futures.
