About Critical Pedagogy on the
Web
This site has a dual
focus, providing both a general overview of critical pedagogy--its definitions,
history, key concepts, and major theorists--and links to other critical
pedagogy resources on the web. It began as a final project for an independent
study in educational theory in the Fall of 2002. It will be updated periodically,
however, so feel free to send links, updates, and information regarding
critical pedagogy resources on the web to currie7772@hotmail.com.
