Join us for a lecture and conversation with public intellectual, educator, writer, activist and artist: Prof Antonia Darder. With responses by Prof David Andrew, Brenden Gray, Rangoato Hlasane & Puleng Plessie<\/p>\n
VIAD, STAND and UJ Arts & Culture are thrilled to host an intimate conversation with public intellectual, artist and activist Prof Antonia Darder.\u00a0Darder\u2019s scholarship has consistently focused on issues of racism, political economy, social justice, and education. Her work critically engages the contributions of Paulo Freire to our understanding of inequalities in schools and society. Darder\u2019s critical theory of biculturalism links questions of culture, power, and pedagogy to social justice concerns in education. Through her decolonizing scholarship on ethics and moral issues, she articulates a critical theory of leadership for social justice and an interpretive methodology, with a focus on the empowerment of subaltern populations.\u00a0Darder holds a Distinguished Visiting faculty post with the Faculty of Education, University of Johannesburg.<\/p>\n
Prof Darder\u2019s address will be followed by responses from\u00a0Prof David Andrew, Brenden Gray, Rangoato Hlasane and Puleng Plessie \u2013 as individuals engaged in a local dialogue, and projects directly engaged in forms of critical pedagogy. Opportunity for audience engagement with Prof Darder, as well as these special guests, is warmly encouraged.<\/p>\n
Presentation abstract:<\/p>\n
The Social Justice Question:\u00a0Decolonizing Pedagogy, Methodology & Leadership\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
There is much talk internationally about providing socially just education within subaltern communities. Yet, often the practices within educational institutions perpetuate the coloniality of power and structures of inequality that fail to support decolonizing pedagogical practices. This presentation draws on the work of Brazilian philosopher and author of\u00a0Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Paulo Freire, to consider a set of personal and political principles that can assist us to enact educational leadership approaches founded on an ethics of liberation that can promote cognitive justice and community empowerment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
