Description
Critical pedagogy is a theoretical approach to understanding the classroom as a sphere of social action where it is possible to empower students by transforming the conditions that interfere with learning. This course applies principles of critical pedagogy to issues of classroom diversity, understood as a complex of ethnicity, economic class, gender, and other social differences that are often mobilized as axes of power in educational settings. Particular attention will be paid to the implications of critical pedagogy for teaching in inner city schools in Winnipeg, where there is a high incidence of poverty, marginalization and cultural diversity.
