Critical Pedagogy and Critical Theory

This work by Joe Kincheloe may help you frame the concepts of "critical pedagogy" and "critical theory" better, but the discussion is not easy reading. I do think it is worth your time; feel free to ask about anything you read here:

"Critical Theory and the Moral Dimension: Emancipation, Complexity and Power" by Joe. L. Kincheloe
(download the Word .doc at the link below the title)

If you would rather watch/listen than read. . .a wonderful video of Joe Kincheloe is available in which he discusses critical pedagogy. Sadly, Joe passed away in December of 2008 far too soon. . .

Many more available documents at the Critical Pedagogy Reading Room offered at The Freire Project.

See work by Henry Giroux grounded in critical pedagogy:

Youth in a Suspect Society

Militarized Conservatism and the End(s) of Higher Education
