This session presents some key examples on how Freire’s work continues to reinvent education worldwide and how scholars continue to reinvent his work. We specifically use reinvention because Freire vehemently argued for the “social theoretical recontextualization [of his work] and a rejection of unreflexive, mechanical efforts to ‘import’ his pedagogy into different social and cultural contexts” (Morrow & Torres, 2019, pp. 247-248). Countering fatalistic teaching that reproduces and justifies oppressions for working towards better futures, our presentations focus on past, current, and future needs of Freirean reinventions of environmental pedagogies, activism for social justice, amplifying voices silenced from fatalism, using Southern epistemologies to counter Northern domination, local-to-global contextualization, and Freirean studies from voices of those who Freire directly communicated with.
