Radical Love: Baeza Congress 2009 Invited Conversation
What does critical pedagogy have to offer our understanding of love? For the Papa of critical pedagogy, Freire, radical love was an enactment of love through social action that seeks to change “unlovely” circumstances for people. He influenced my life in a most dramatic way, as I believe he did the other two honorees of this conference, and probably yours as well. Paulo and Pato and Joe helped us to articulate to ourselves some of the following thoughts:
- Who are the downtrodden?
- Do we love them?
- Do we wish to commit to social change so that they have opportunities that many take for granted?
- Do we as educators act in meaningful ways to engage learners to transform their “unlovely” circumstances?
