This work aims to help activists outside and students inside the university develop and empower
themselves and others to ‘both understand and be prepared to try and change the structure of the world they live in’ (p. 49).
She argues that such empowerment is only possible with a critical pedagogy that breaks the teacherstudent divide and encourages students to actively, dialogically engage in debate and work together—listening, speaking and acting—to help understand and develop realistic solutions to the world’s problems.
Her piece demonstrates the possibilities made available by practicing critical pedagogy.
