A New Social Contract in a Latin American Education Context
A New Social Contract in a Latin American Education Context is committed to what has become known as "perspective of the South:" understanding the South not as a geographical reference but as a vindication of the existence of ways of knowing and of living which struggle for their survival and for a legitimate place in a world where the respect for difference is balanced with the right for equality. The metaphor of the new social contract stands for the desire to envision another world, which paradoxically cannot but spring out of the entrails of the existing one. Could the same contract under which the colonial orders were erected serve as a tool for decolonizing relations, knowledge, and power? Consequently, what kind of education could effectively help structure a new social contract? These are some of the questions Streck addresses.
Handbook Transdisciplinary Learning
What is transdisciplinarity - and what are its methods? How does a living lab work? What is the purpose of citizen science, student-organized teaching and cooperative education? This handbook unpacks key terms and concepts to describe the range of transdisciplinary learning in the context of academic education. Transdisciplinary learning turns out to be a comprehensive innovation process in response to the major global challenges such as climate change, urbanization or migration. A reference work for students, lecturers, scientists, and anyone wanting to understand the profound changes in higher education.
Rethinking Freire and Illich
Marking the fiftieth anniversary of two of the most influential books in modern educational and social theory, Rethinking Freire and Illich introduces readers to the results of the symposium of Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Ivan Illich’s Deschooling Society. The collection uniquely analyses Freire and Illich together, although not in a comparative way. It acknowledges that both Freire and Illich led in different ways to a new approach to perceiving and understanding the concept of liberation as a human condition, while also presenting current criticisms of their work from a gendered perspective and by Indigenous scholars in the US and Canada. Drawing on contributions from ...
Theology and Sexuality, Reproductive Health, and Rights
This volume presents a project of empirical research on issues of theology, sexuality, and reproductive health and rights. It was carried out by researchers from two theological institutions in Brazil and Colombia in close contact with the grassroots in various civil-society organizations. Numerous studies at twenty-six Latin American institutions on the relation between theology and HIV/AIDS prepared the way for this project. It promotes and applies methodologies for Latin American popular education and participatory action research (PAR). While the project was finalized long before the COVID-19 pandemic hit Latin America and the world, the pandemic gave fresh evidence of the relevance of the project. The present volume is the English translation of the initial Portuguese and Spanish reports about the project, enriched with a new preface. The editors are delighted that this translation will help spread the vital insights from this research to a wider and global readership.
A New Social Contract in a Latin American Education Context
The book takes the social contract as a metaphor for understanding the challenges to education within a context of paradigmatic transition, and of profound social and political transformations.
Educação Popular em Debate
Este livro é resultado do I Fórum de Estudos Leituras de Paulo Freire: Educação Popular em Debate, realizado em Manaus no mês de abril de 2016. Com financiamento da CAPES e UEA, o fórum deu continuidade ao trabalho de várias instituições de ensino superior no Brasil, tendo a obra de Paulo Freire como fonte inspiradora. Desde a sua criação em 1999, os fóruns buscam articular os saberes acadêmicos com os saberes oriundos de diferentes práticas sociais. Para além das instituições universitárias, o fórum se articula com escolas, movimentos sociais, ONGs, associações populares e entidades que, de alguma forma, comungam com a utopia de uma sociedade mais justa para todas as pessoas.
