Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Dedicated to the oppressed and based on his own experience helping Brazilian adults to read and write, Freire includes a detailed Marxist class analysis in his exploration of the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized. In the book, Freire calls traditional pedagogy the "banking model of education" because it treats the student as an empty vessel to be filled with knowledge, like a piggy bank. He argues that pedagogy should instead treat the learner as a co-creator of knowledge.Check a Local Library:
This group is invested in reading books that offer a deeper exploration of racism, its structural roots, and its relationship to U.S. culture, politics, economics, pedagogy, and material conditions.
Members will take part in conversations about the books we read and discuss changes we could make in our daily lives, in our programs, classrooms, and community that would continue the work of antiracism on campus.
Our aim is to create an intentional, respectful space where we can come together to discuss these complicated topics.
Please join us!
