  • 1 Critical Pedagogy, Cultural Studies, and Radical Democracy at the Turn
    Critical Pedagogy, Cultural Studies, and Radical Democracy at the Turn of the Millennium: Reflections on the Work of Henry Giroux By Douglas Kellner (http://www.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/kellner/) After publishing a series of books that many recognize as major works on contemporary education and critical pedagogy, Henry Giroux turned to cultural studies in the late 1980s to enrich education with expanded conceptions of pedagogy and literacy.1 This cultural turn is animated by the hope to reconstruct schooling with critical perspectives that can help us to better understand and transform contemporary culture and society in the contemporary era. Giroux provides cultural studies with a critical pedagogy missing in many versions and a sustained attempt to link critical pedagogy and cultural studies with developing a more democratic culture and citizenry. The result is an intersection of critical pedagogy and cultural studies that enhances both enterprises, providing a much-needed cultural and transformative political dimension to critical pedagogy and a pedagogical dimension to cultural studies. Crucially, Giroux has linked his attempts to transform pedagogy and education with the project of promoting radical democracy. Giroux's earlier work during the 1970s and 1980s focused on educational reform, pedagogy, and the transformation of education to promote radical democracy. In Border Crossings (1992), Giroux notes "a shift in both my politics and my theoretical work" (1). The shift included incorporation of new theoretical discourses of poststructuralism and postmodernism, cultural studies, and the politics of identity and difference embodied in the new discourses of class, gender, race, and sexuality that proliferated in the post- 1960s epoch.

  • The Contribution of Marxism to Education
    ACCESS: CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN EDUCATION 1995, VOL. 14, NO. 2, 130–139 To find the new world in a critique of the old: The contribution of marxism to education Robert Mackie ABSTRACT Marxism should seek neither to escape from a full understanding of the reasons for its recent negative trajectory, nor quit the field in favour of either modernist liberalism or postmodernist fragmentation. Apologetics and defeatism are equally unacceptable. Additionally, with regard to education in particular, marxists have constantly emphasised its imbrication in society and history. So assessments of marxism's contributions to education, made particularly at a time when its standing is parlous or at best problematic, need a clear understanding of the shifting demography of revolutionary aspiration. Waxing and waning: Marxism now and then We gotta get out of this place If it's the last thing we ever do We gotta get out of this place There's a better life for me and you.1 In 1994 there appeared the Oxford Illustrated History of Western Philosophy edited by Anthony Kenny (Kenny, 1994). It contains a photo of a statue of Karl Marx in Berlin on the occasion of his one hundred and seventy-third birthday in 1991. Marx is bedecked with garlands of roses, while behind him, pensively peering over his shoulder, stands a small boy sucking his fingers. Below is a card on which is written, 'Du hattest ja so recht' - 'You were so right'. A touching vignette? A surprising tribute? A sly nostalgia? On May 7 1973, Time magazine published a feature article on the remarkable renaissance of Karl Marx.

  • Seeking a Way a White Teacher’S Journey from Critical Race Theory to Black Power Pedagogy
    FEATURE ARTICLE Seeking a Way A White Teacher’s Journey from Critical Race Theory to Black Power Pedagogy ALEXANDER B. PRATT University of Oregon HE NARRATIVE BELOW THAT OPENS this article describes the first unit that I taught in T my second year as a full-time classroom teacher at Jane Smith Elementary on the west side of Chicago. This narrative is my own recollection aided by notes and assignments collected at the time, though I am confining the discussion to my preparation for the instruction and my reflection upon completion of the instruction. As such, it is the kind of narrative re-tell that is used most often in works of narrative inquiry and in Pinar’s (1975) understanding of teaching autobiography and currere, which I will describe in more detail in the Methodology section. The purpose of the analysis in this article is to describe the ontology of race, specifically Blackness, as it is theorized in Critical Race Theory and how that ontology problematizes the way I thought about issues of race and racism in my first week of teaching and, more generally, the way such things are being addressed in current liberal and neoliberal classrooms. This problematic underestimates the impact of racism within our societal structure, leaving many teachers and students, myself included, the victims of an unrealistic and destructive conception of how racial justice and equality can be achieved. I suggest that one potential way forward that addresses this unrealistic expectation can be found in the pedagogy put forward in the literature of the Black Power Movement.

  • A Critical Concept of Injustice. Trichotomy Critique, Explanation, and Normativity
    http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1677-2954.2014v13n1p50 A CRITICAL CONCEPT OF INJUSTICE. TRICHOTOMY CRITIQUE, EXPLANATION, AND NORMATIVITY UM CONCEITO CRÍTICO DE INJUSTIÇA. A TRICOTOMIA CRÍTICA, ESCLARECIMENTO E NORMATIVIDADE MAREK HRUBEC1 (Charles University, Czech Republic) ABSTRACT The article deals with an issue of a critical concept of injustice. It concentrates on injustice by focusing on three fundamental elements of Critical theory of society: critique, explanation, and normativity. Firstly, it clarifies the need for critical social criticism to have an internal character. Secondly, it concentrates on relations between individual elements of the above-mentioned trichotomy, and stresses the consequences of such an analysis for a Critical social theory. It shows that only an articulation of all three elements in their mutual constitutive relations will enable to work out a critical concept of in/justice. Keywords: Injustice. Justice. Critical Theory. Critique. Explanation. Normativity. A theory of justice requires a critical concept of injustice2. I will articulate such a concept from the point of view of Critical Theory of Society. I will analyze three fundamental elements of Critical Theory – critique, explanation and normativity – which can be identified already in the initial programmatic documents of the founders of Critical Theory (the Frankfurt School), and consequently mapped in texts of their followers up until today. Although these elements have been present in Critical Theory since its beginning, and their existence was an implicit precondition for Critical Theory, they have been articulated only vaguely in their complex mutual relations. This is because only some of these elements have as a rule been addressed, and because just a few of the relations between them have been discussed.

Middleton Dean, College of Education ABSTRACT HOLLSTEIN, MATTHEW S., M.Ed., August 2006. Integrated Social Studies Education CRITICAL PEDAGOGY: PRESERVICE TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES (92 pp.) Director of Thesis: Frans H. Doppen The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which preservice Integrated Social Studies teachers defined, implemented, and understood critical pedagogy. Questionnaires were administered, from the returned questionnaires, ten participants were chosen for further analysis. These ten were split into two groups of five, one group that indicated an understanding of critical pedagogy and a second group that indicated a lack of understanding. All ten participated in an initial oral interview. The five participants who indicated an understanding of critical pedagogy were asked to create a lesson plan implementing critical pedagogy after which they participated in a follow-up interview. The questionnaires, lesson plans, and interviews revealed that the participants in this study were unable to correctly define, implement, and understand critical pedagogy. Furthermore, the participants’ responses indicated all ten believed critical pedagogy to be the equivalent of critical thinking. The results of this case study showed that much needs to be done to correct misconceptions and misunderstandings that preservice teachers have of critical pedagogy.

  • The Cea Forum 2019
    Winter/Spring THE CEA FORUM 2019 Exploring Instructor Perceptions of and Practices for Public Discourse in First-Year Writing Courses Jill Parrott, Lucas Green, Courtnie Morin, Jordan Kaiser, Cody Smothers, Sam Rodgers Eastern Kentucky University A long-standing goal of the university in the Western tradition has been to prepare students to enter into a democratic society as informed citizens, but contemporary practices are often aimed at cultivating individuals for specialized careers rather than preparing them for general civil interactions. As James Berlin reminds us in Rhetoric and Reality, the classical rhetors Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian, and Augustine placed rhetoric at the center of learning and emphasized its fundamental role in maintaining democratic ideals (2). Though the modern academy appears to stray from this principle historical objective, contemporary freshman composition courses (among others) maintain the capacity to do more than “prepare students for the workplace” (Berlin 189). Compositionists often embrace a humanistic perspective, wherein meaning is created in the material practice of writing and the writers themselves and their audiences are impacted throughout the process, giving purpose to the communicative act beyond a purely utilitarian function (Lindemann 3-8). Composing is a cultural act; a text is both influenced by and influences the society in which it is constructed (Farris). The first-year composition classroom offers the unique capacity to function as a mock micro-society in which students may practice participating in civil public discourse in a relatively low-stakes environment, teaching 234 www.cea-web.org Winter/Spring THE CEA FORUM 2019 both writing skills and democratic acts that may then be transferred and applied into the public sphere (Ervin; Friend; Crisco; Selfe).

  • The Politicization of University Schools of Education the Long March Through the Education Schools Jay Schalin
    The Politicization of University Schools of Education The Long March through the Education Schools Jay Schalin FEBRUARY 2019 The Politicization of University Schools of Education EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Few institutions receive more attention and more funding than our education system. And it certainly warrants that attention; after all, education plays a big part in determining the future. Reformers abound, for both higher education and the K-12 system. But they have largely missed one of the most crucial components of education, our schools of education, where future teachers are trained. They are out of sight and unapproachable for the K-12 reformers, and too technical and too much on the periphery for those who focus on higher education’s shortcomings. That has proven a grave error. Education schools are fundamental to all education. They are serving the nation badly, and it’s not just about test scores and graduation rates. Teacher education has become one of the most politicized corners of academia, an institution that is already out of step with the rest of the country politically. Education schools are leading the charge to “transform” the nation, and that transformation is not leading us to a better, freer, more prosperous, more humane society. This politicization of the education schools is not new, it is not invisible, and it is not occurring through random happenstance or by good ideas pushing out bad ones. It started over 100 years ago in the Progressive era, when the education schools first emerged as a body of experts who focused on “teaching” as a science; many of those experts were socialists who were open about their intentions to change the nation.

  • Learning from Paulo Freire and the Politics of Critical Pedagogy
    Fast Capitalism ISSN 1930-014X Volume 8 • Issue 2 • 2011 doi:10.32855/fcapital.201102.004 Rejecting Academic Labor as a Subaltern Class: Learning from Paulo Freire and the Politics of Critical Pedagogy Henry A. Giroux While liberals, progressives, and left-oriented educators have increasingly opposed the right-wing assault on higher education, they have not done enough either theoretically or politically in connecting the issues of academic freedom, the proliferation of non-tenured and part-time faculty, and the state of critical pedagogy in the university. Although concern has been expressed about the shameless exploitation of non-tenured and part-time faculty in the United States (actually, an under-the-radar parallel alternative to the traditional tenure system), such concerns have not been linked to a full-spirited critique of the anti-democratic forces now affecting higher education through the relentless expansion of a growing managerialism and a neoliberal approach to university governance.[1] The current labor crisis facing higher education shoul be addressed as part of a much broader assault on society by corporations, the military, right-wing foundations, and conservative religious groups. Higher education is a dangerous site because it offers the potential both for fostering critical thought and for shaping oppositional subject positions, identities, and social relations that could challenge the current neoliberal regime of ideology, politics, and economics. At the same time, it offers a space and modes of pedagogy that often unsettle many of the dominant orthodoxies and fundamentalisms that now dominate American culture. I believe that one way to challenge this military-industrial-academic complex is to make the question of pedagogy central to a reformulated politics that reclaims the university as a democratic public sphere.
