In his book, Walter has tried to re-invent Paulo Freire’s statement that education is political through five concepts:
- life
- equality
- love
- errantry
- and childhood.
After a brief presentation of the outlines of each chapter the seminar will focus on one of these themes.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in: Paulo Freire, philosophy, philosophy of education, political philosophy, and critical pedagogy.
