R O U: Critical Pedagogy Leeds Launch Event

Last night Really Open University launched the new critical pedagogy discussion group at The Space Project. Critical pedagogy is a group of theories within educational theory that attempts to look at power relations within education, how education relates to and often mirrors the politics of society outside the classroom and how these relations can be subverted to make education a site of political resistance. We were very lucky to welcome Sara Motta and Sarah Amsler, both of whom are lecturers in critical pedagogy and active in projects which attempt to put the theory into practice including the Social Science Centre and West Midlands Critical Pedagogy Group.
