Enabling Critical Pedagogy in Higher Education Paperback / softback
by Mike Seal, Alan Smith
Edited by Joy Jarvis, Karen Mpamhanga
Part of the Critical Practice in Higher Education series
Paperback / softback
Description
An introduction to critical pedagogy for all those working within higher education. Critical Pedagogy is an approach that is fundamentally democratic, informal, non-hierarchical, determined by participants, privileges the oppressed and their perspectives and is committed to action.
Higher education (HE), conversely, is often un-democratic, formal, hierarchical, determined by tutors and national bodies, re-inscribes existing privileges and is distant from lived experience.
The book starts from the premise that critical pedagogies are possible in HE, while recognising the tensions to be ameliorated in trying to enact them.
It re-examines the concept and explores its practical application at an institutional level, within the curriculum, within assessment, through learning and teaching and in the spaces in-between.
The Critical Practice in Higher Education series provides a scholarly and practical entry point for academics into key areas of higher education practice.
Each book in the series explores an individual topic in depth, providing an overview in relation to current thinking and practice, informed by recent research.
The series will be of interest to those engaged in the study of higher education, those involved in leading learning and teaching or working in academic development, and individuals seeking to explore particular topics of professional interest.
Through critical engagement, this series aims to promote an expanded notion of being an academic – connecting research, teaching, scholarship, community engagement and leadership – while developing confidence and authority.
