Paulo Freire & ‘Pedagogy of the Oppressed’ (Carlos Alberto Torres)

‘Pedagogy of the Oppressed’ is a key educational text - packed with radical ideas about critical pedagogy and the death of the authoritarian teacher. In this episode, we join Carlos Alberto Torres (UCLA) for a deep dive into the background against which Freire was writing, the specific contexts of his ideas, and how we should be engaging with Pedagogy of the Oppressed over 50 years since its publication.
