Critical Theory
This collection of essays incorporates some of the most important and longstanding foundational texts in education developed by the leading educational neo-Gramscian social theorist Peter McLaren. The volume provides a much necessary framework for understanding more precisely not only the historical and philosophical foundations for McLaren's ideas, but even more importantly, it unpacks a clear understanding of the dynamics of ideological product…

Reflections on contemporary challenges and possibilities for democracy and education
This paper is one of two which bring together leading educational researchers to consider some of the key challenges facing democracy and education during the twenty-first century, including rising social and economic inequality, political instability, and the existential threats of global pandemics and climate change. In this paper, key educational scholar–activists respond to the challenges and possibilities for democracy and education, with co…

Critical intellectuals in postdigital times
This article starts with a brief analysis of what it means to be an intellectual within the US tradition of critical pedagogy. Pointing toward important socio-technological transformations which have taken place in the past few decades, the article situates the concept of the intellectual into the contemporary postdigital context. The article looks into two main areas of intellectual work which seem to have undergone significant transformations—a…
Paulo Freire, un hombre atemporal
La pandemia de COVID-19 evidenció el surgimiento de dos figuras políticas defensoras del discurso de odio, el racismo y la discriminación: Donald Trump en Estados Unidos y Jair Bolsonaro en Brasil. A partir de sus acciones y discursos se evidencia una política de la posverdad que propicia el desencanto y la desesperanza frente al futuro. Se analiza la pedagogía freireana a partir de la experiencia en la Guinea Bissau recién independizada y la rel…

Viral modernity? Epidemics, infodemics, and the ‘bioinformational’ paradigm
Viral modernity is a concept based upon the nature of viruses, the ancient and critical role they play in evolution and culture, and the basic application to understanding the role of information and forms of bioinformation in the social world. The concept draws a close association between viral biology on the one hand, and information science on the other – it is an illustration and prime example of bioinformationalism that brings together two o…
Postdigital cross border reflections on critical utopia
Critical pedagogy is in crisis. To address this crisis, this paper reinvents Paulo Freire’s concept of utopia in and for our age of the Anthropocene. Understood as a system, postdigital critical utopia provides us with normative foundations and returns agency from invisible data and algorithms to human beings. Understood as a process, postdigital critical utopia unmasks the myth of neutrality and adds an important element of myth, religion, ritua…
Pandemic abandonment, panoramic displays and fascist propaganda
While governing a country facing a global pandemic, a shattered economy, and widespread civil unrest over the death of George Floyd, Trump has shown little compassion for humanity and has chosen ego gratification over care and concern for his countrymen and in the process put the entire world in greater danger from Covid-19
Reimagining the new pedagogical possibilities for universities post-Covid-19
Our minds are still racing back and forth, longing for a return to ‘normality’, trying to stitch our future to our past and refusing to acknowledge the rupture. But the rupture exists. And in the midst of this terrible despair, it offers us a chance to rethink the doomsday machine we have built for ourselves. Nothing could be worse than a return to normality. Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their worl…

Rethinking Critical Pedagogy and the Gramscian and Freirean Legacies
Critical pedagogy problematizes the relationship between education and politics, between sociopolitical relations and pedagogical practices, between the reproduction of dependent hierarchies of power and privilege in the domain of everyday social life and that of classrooms and institutions. In doing so, it advances an agenda for educational transformation by encouraging educators to understand the sociopolitical contexts of educative acts and th…

Educational 'accountability' and the violence of capital
This article investigates the accountability movement in education in order to discover its meaning within contemporary capitalism. It demonstrates how trends in educational accountability reify the consciousness and creativity of students into simple scores and indices according to a logic of commodification, as well as reinforcing white supremacist ideology by portraying neocolonial representations of student accomplishment and potential as neu…
A Critique of Neoliberalism with Fierceness
As a form of deregulated capitalism that has run amok, commodifying all that is in its path, and as a cultural means of commodifying Black and brown bodies, neoliberalism has taken a serious toll on the lives of working-class queer youth of color. Although it has hijacked spaces of cultural representation and material production, neoliberal capitalism is far from transparent. Through resistance, activism and performance queer youth of color have …
Teaching Against Globalization and the New Imperialism
The globalization of capitalism has exacerbated the continuing reduction of education to a subsector of the economy. In the process, it has brought untold misery to the lives of millions of people throughout the world. Maintaining that critical pedagogy largely remains in the thrall of postmodern theory and politics, this article sketches out some fundamental perspectives for the development of what the authors refer to as "revolutionary pedagogy…
Che Guevara, Paulo Freire, and the Politics of Hope
Over the past several years, there has been a renewed interest in the life and teachings of Che Guevara and Paulo Freire among the revolution ary-minded. This renewed interest in Che and Freire is occurring at a time when Left educators are attempting to address the consequences of the globalization of capital and the effects of transnational capital on public education. The educational left's current enthrallment with postmodern the ory has done…

The Ritual Dimensions of Resistance
Resistance is described as oppositional behavior enacted as a dynamic cultural form which the author terms “rituals of resistance.” Describing resistance as a ritual mode helps to underscore the symbolic and ideological dimensions of student behavior. Drawing upon recent field work in a Catholic junior high school in Toronto, Ontario, the author focuses on the ritualized behavior of the “class clown.” The clown functions in the capacity of a meta…
Research news and Comment
[W]hat I have been proposing from my political convictions, my philosophical convictions, is a profound respect for the total autonomy of the educator. What I have been proposing is a profound respect for the cultural identity of students—a cultural identity that implies respect for the language of the other, the color of the other, the gender of the other, the class of the other, the sexual orientation of the other, the intellectual capacity of …
Multiculturalism and the postmodern critique
For the proletariat does not need all the thousands of little words by which the bourgeoisie masks class struggles in its own pedagogy. The ‘unprejudiced,’ ‘understanding,’ ‘empathetic’ bourgeoisie practices, the ‘child-loving’ teachers — these we can do without. (Benjamin, 1973: 32)

Revolutionary Ecologies
In this article, we argue that critical and revolutionary educational praxis is increasingly shaped by and through ecological politics and imaginaries. Indeed, given the pervasiveness of environmental crisis in our everyday lives and vocabularies, we argue that critical educators can no longer ignore questions of ecojustice. In keeping with a growing interdisciplinary field of green Marxist scholarship, we argue that "greening" critical pedagogy …

The Legend of the Bush Gang
This article explores the dialectical relationship between the Bush administration's domestic policies and its deranged 'war on terrorism,' which is being waged on a number of different fronts, for example, Iraq, Afghanistan, Colombia, and the United States. The authors argue that the Bush gang is using the external 'international crisis' to override the remnants of U.S. bourgeois democracy in order to reestablish conditions of profitability. Per…
The Strategic Centrality of Class in the Politics of 'Race' and 'Difference
This article argues against the radical displacement of class analysis and the decentering of capitalism within contemporary theoretical narratives, the political pusillanimity of post-Marxist 'culturalist' discourses, and offers a historical materialist critique of the 'politics of difference.' The authors argue that much of what falls under the rubric of 'difference' politics amounts to little more than a demand for inclusion into the club of '…

Critical Spiritual Pedagogy
American public schools today continue to segregate, alienate, and disempower non-dominant students through the use of culturally oppressive curricula and pedagogical practices. Through portraiture, this article illustrates how such educational issues are rooted in the fact that non-dominant students are often denied their humanity in schools. Building on a rich theoretical tradition of critical theory and critical pedagogy, this article challeng…

Seabird Concentrations in Late Summer Along the Coasts of Devon and Ellesmere Islands, N.W.T
The presence of large concentrations of northern fulmars and black-legged kittiwakes along coasts of Devon and Ellesmere islands was documented in 1976 and 1978 by aerial surveys. Fulmars were present along these coasts from late July until mid-September, with peaks in late August and early September along Devon Island, and mid-September along Ellesmere Island. Black-legged kittiwakes were abundant along Devon Island after mid-September, but comm…
Waterfowl Populations in Eastern Lancaster Sound and Western Baffin Bay
The seasonal distributions of oldsquaws (Clangula hyemalis), common eiders (Somateria mollissima) and king eiders (S. spectabilis) were determined through aerial surveys in eastern Lancaster Sound (1976, 1978 and 1979) and northwest Baffin Bay (1978, 1979). Sightings of geese are summarized in an Appendix. The major spring influx of both eiders occurs about the second week of May but most oldsquaws do not arrive until the first half of June. In s…
Spring Migration and Habitat Use by Seabirds in Eastern Lancaster Sound and Western Baffin Bay
The status and distribution, during spring and early summer, of northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis), black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla), thick-billed murres (Uria lomvia) and black guillemots (Cepphus grylle) were studied during aerial surveys in eastern Lancaster Sound (1976, 1978, 1979) and western Baffin Bay (1978, 1979). Fulmars were present in the study area by early May but most undertook a pre-laying exodus in late May before ret…
The Dovekie, Alle alle , as a Spring Migrant in Eastern Lancaster Sound and Western Baffin Bay
The distribution and numbers of dovekies during spring migration were studied by aerial surveys of eastern Lancaster Sound (1976, 1978, 1979) and western Baffin Bay (1978, 1979). Dovekies that nest in northwest Greenland migrated north through the study area during May. Extrapolations of recorded densities indicate that a peak of ~14 million dovekies may have been present in eastern Lancaster Sound and northwest Baffin Bay in mid-May 1978: fewer …
Ivory Gull ( Pagophila eburnea ) Distribution in Late Summer and Autumn in Eastern Lancaster Sound and Western Baffin Bay
Ivory gulls in western Baffin Bay and eastern Lancaster Sound were studied in 1976, 1978 and 1979 using aerial surveys. During September and October concentrations of hundreds of ivory gulls occurred along glacier fronts on southeast Ellesmere and northeast and southeast Devon islands, and where offal was available near the settlements of Grise Fiord and Pond Inlet. Dispersal (= southward migration) from coastal to offshore areas proceeded as pan…
The Ritual Dimensions of Resistance
Resistance is described as oppositional behavior enacted as a dynamic cultural form which the author terms “rituals of resistance.” Describing resistance as a ritual mode helps to underscore the symbolic and ideological dimensions of student behavior. Drawing upon recent field work in a Catholic junior high school in Toronto, Ontario, the author focuses on the ritualized behavior of the “class clown.” The clown functions in the capacity of a meta…

Teacher Education and the Politics of Engagement
Henry A. Giroux and Peter McLaren argue that many of the recently recommended public-school reforms either sidestep or abandon the principles underlying education for a democratic citizenry developed by John Dewey and others in the early part of this century. Yet, Giroux and McLaren believe that this historical precedent suggests a way of reconceptualizing teaching and public schooling which revives the values of democratic citizenship and social…

No Light, But Rather Darkness Visible
At a time in which most possibilities are unthinkable, and consequently few people want to think too much, there is a natural tendency to avoid engaging in serious criticism. Peter Gronn's review of my book, Schooling as a Ritual Performance, is a case in point. On this note, I find myself hesitant in responding to Peter Gronn's critique. It is especially difficult to respond in a reasoned and thoughtful manner to a reviewer who uses such terms a…

On Ideology and Education
Decades of volatile debates over the term ideology have produced a theoretical residue that continues to fleck the landscape of social theory, creating a conceptual terrain at once murky, distortive, and contradictory. Few concepts in social theory are as pervasive and durable, yet few continue to provoke such a cleavage of opinion among theorists. What makes such an ephemeral concept so tenacious is difficult to ascertain, as it continues to exe…

Leadership and a Critical Pedagogy of Race
Two precipitous moments within the current historical juncture give the development of a critical pedagogy of race a new urgency for educators in general and African American educators in particular. The increase in the disproportionate level of material wealth, economic dislocation, and intergenerational poverty suffered by African Americans signalled the first moment. It witnessed the frenetic and, at times, savage immorality of the Reagan year…
