POLITICS, LITERACY, AND CRITICAL PEDAGOGY
SECNDED 705
This course will provide the opportunity to unpack one of the foundational texts of critical pedagogy, Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Participants will explore how elements related to Freire's work, such as fear, politics, love, dialog, conscientizacao, transformative action, and pedagogy for liberation, influence pedagogy and community action projects.
LEARNING, DIVERSITY, AND THE MARGINALIZED STUDENT

Literacy, Diversity, and the Marginalized Student addresses school as a cultural experience in which identity and culture act as forces that can, and often do, marginalize students.
