“<i>Enacting Critical Pedagogies Online</i> is a timely publication that serves as an essential resource for instructor training, instructor onboarding, teacher preparation programs, and annual assessment of programs responsive to the call for curricular diversification.
This compilation focused on the central question of how to honor principles of critical pedagogy in computer mediated learning and offers examples of transformative classrooms and culturally sustaining pedagogies through consideration of theory and practice.
Central to both critical pedagogy and quality online instruction is the creation of community, and conscious engagement with content, peers, and instructors. Challenges that arise include designing content that promotes and balances meaningful communication and providing opportunities for application beyond the classroom.
The contributing authors share theoretically grounded and practical examples of how they have advanced genuine and mindful engagement in online learning where critical pedagogy content is central. Sample cases include online and hybrid modalities, learner experiences, and full-time instructor and adjunct perspectives on enacting critical pedagogies online.”
—Melisa Fiori, Associate Professor of Spanish, Daemen University
"As the academic world continues to transition to distance, online and other diverse types of education (partly because of neoliberal impulses, partly due to the pandemic, partly
owing to innovation and creativity), <i>Enacting Critical Pedagogy Online</i> provides significant context, insight and proposals to engage more critically not only with content but, significantly, with students and society within a Freirian lens. This is a wonderful and welcome addition to the field of critical pedagogy and transformative education!"
Paul R. Carr, Professor & Chair-holder, UNESCO Chair in Democracy, Global Citizenship and Transformative Education (DCMÉT) at the Université du Québec en Outaouais
"If you thought that online education could kill critical pedagogy, you are in for a surprise. <i>Enacting Critical Pedagogy Online</i> is a fabulous resource for anyone attempting to teach for social justice virtually. While the chapter authors are generally not proponents of online education—indeed, several express deep and well-founded concerns—authors creatively tackle central tensions between the philosophy and substance critical pedagogy, and their own online teaching experience. I highly recommend this book."
Christine Sleeter, Professor Emerita, California State University Monterey Bay
Critical pedagogy is the foundation of contemporary teacher education. Circumstances and changes in the educational landscape within recent years have resulted in a sharp increase in programs offering online classes and entire programs in teacher education. Using critical perspectives, such courses often address difficult topics, for example, the impact of poverty, racism/white supremacism, sexism, heterosexism, and ableism on students and on schools. These issues require careful planning and development of a classroom environment that fosters honest conversations and multiple perspectives, and a level of rapport that can be especially difficult to achieve and negotiate in online asynchronous environments where students may hesitate to be open to discuss matters perceived as sensitive. Nonetheless, engaging students with and through critical pedagogy online can also provide an environment that challenges traditional ways of knowing and creates spaces for meaningful dialogue and change. This book examines course design, student engagement, research, theory, and practices of teaching with and for critical pedagogy in online environments.
