I like reading chapter two of the book Pedagogy of Freedom. Ethics, Democracy, and Civic Courage because it focus on methodological rigor and invite us to reflect on the principle that there is no teaching without learning.
The chapter and the video reminded me that our teaching is for our students. Therefore, the importance of going to the favelas, going places that are not always reached out to, or taking my students to these places either literally or through readings and discussions is a way to exercise this pedagogy.
As educators and scholars we must aim to have the same academic rigor we want in our theory reflected in our praxis. In my case, the students I teach are privileged in many ways, so I want to use Freire's pedagogy in more transgressive ways to challenge my students and myself to learn about multiple worlds and to develop civil courage to be more agentive in civic interventions. I wish I was doing this already, but I am not.
