| Summary: | In this interview, McLaren reflects on different approaches to the field of<br />critical pedagogy and lingers over interpretations derived from the work of Freire, underlining<br />the need to reflect on practice itself in order to find ways which allow oppressed<br />people to become protagonists in history. Likewise, this author states that part<br />of his work is focused on supporting anti-capitalist movements in North America and<br />formulating an alternative to global capitalism, reflecting on the role which critical<br />pedagogy could play in this. He underlines the essential role of teachers in the development<br />of anti-capitalist pedagogies within the heart of today's changing societies, affected<br />by international events such as the election of Obama or the financial crisis, in<br />which schools can become spaces for the production of critical knowledge and for<br />socio-political action. |
