Produktbeschreibung
From Dayton, Ohio, to Barcelona, Spain, this collection of essays from the Harvard Educational Review carries readers to places where people have first imagined--and then organized--their own educational responses to dehumanizing practices and conditions. Within a context of continued calls for education reform, Humanizing Education seeks to inspire a renewed sense of more fundamental improvements. The contributors offer historic examples of hopeful and humanizing educational spaces, practices, and movements that embody a spirit of possibility and change. The articles in this volume do more than challenge dehumanizing forms of education; these stories and voices from the past forty years revolutionize our understanding of education. In doing so, they seek to inspire a collective imagination for critical alternatives in education. Each piece articulates what it means to participate in a humanizing pedagogy, one that engages youth and adults together in an ongoing process of transforming selves and the world. -- from the editors' introduction Contributors include Montse Sánchez Aroca, William Ayers, Kathy Boudin, Fernando Cardenal, Jeffrey M.
