Critical Pedagogy in the Twenty-First Century: A New Generation of Scholars

This book simultaneously provides multiple analyses of critical pedagogy in the twenty-first century while showcasing the scholarship of this new generation of critical scholar-educators. Needless to say, the writers herein represent just a small subset of a much larger movement for critical transformation and a more humane, less Eurocentric, less paternalistic, less homophobic, less patriarchical, less exploitative, and less violent world. This volume highlights the finding that rigorous critical pedagogical approaches to education, while still marginalized in many contexts, are being used in increasingly more classrooms for the benefit of student learning, contributing, however indirectly, to the larger struggle against the barbarism of industrial, neoliberal, militarized destructiveness.https://digitalcommons.wcupa.edu/coefaculty_books/1005/thumbnail.jp

Leaders for Justice Restoring Dignity in Urban Schools Through the Narratives of Black and Latinx Parents

Roundtable presentation at the American Educational Research Association Annual Meeting (Conference cancelled due to Covid-19) A pernicious trend in urban education in the US is an exodus of children from schools. This has resulted in declining resources, teacher and staff layoffs, and cash-poor and land rich school districts. To understand what is responsible for this trend as well as to recognize how leaders for social justice may improve educational outcomes for students, the researchers launched a mixed-method study with African-American and Latinx parents whose children attended a large urban school district with declining enrollment. The paper shares the parents’ narratives generated in focus group sessions. The narratives revealed improving academic offerings, reducing class size, increasing school staff, fostering humanistic relationships and embracing diversity are essential for restoring dignity in urban schools and stopping declining enrollmen
