A Pedagogy for Planetary Convivência: A Freirean Perspective to Think Pedagogy Otherwise - Paperback
by Débora B. a. Junker (Author), Donaldo Macedo (Foreword by)
A Pedagogy for a Planetary Convivencia presents a comprehensive approach to education that aims to promote emotional resilience, empathy, and ethical consciousness. The ultimate objective is to inspire us to imagine a more equitable world, where indigenous people are respected and valued, where cultural diversity is celebrated, and where relationships between humans and the natural world are based on reciprocity and care. Grounded on principles of critical pedagogy, Freirean philosophy, and liberation theology, this book makes the case that advocating change without a sincere commitment to social justice is a betrayal of the millions of people who still face dehumanization, that criticism without love is pointless, and that denunciation without compassion is damaging. Therefore, the book invites to embrace hope in order to strengthen our relationships, to embrace love in order to inspire our creativity, and to embrace courage in order to express gestures of tenderness.
Débora B. A. Junker is associate professor of critical pedagogies at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, where she is also the founding director of Cátedra Paulo Freire, located there.
