Description
This book introduces a variety of ways for educators to empower students as critical global citizens and agent of change using the educational theories of Paulo Freire. It covers key themes including LGBTQ+ Student Empowerment, social and planetary justice, ecopedagogy and sustainability education, restorative justice, and women's leadership and social change. The contributors offer practical strategies for educators battling against right-wing policies aimed at censoring and policing teachers' and students' voices, offering an alternative to the increasing standardization of a neoliberal curriculum and competitive meritocracy.
