WHAT IS CRITICAL PEDAGOGY?

“Critical pedagogy… affords students the opportunity to read, write and learn from a position of agency-to engage in a culture of questions… imagining literacy as a mode of intervention, a way of learning about the word as a basis for intervening in the world….” Henry A. Giroux, On Critical Pedagogy.

This self emerges along with the new concepts that its participation in a particular pedagogy helps to create and the new challenges that its participation helps to pose.” Elizabeth Ellsworth, Places of Learning
