Continued thread
In an era of #hyperdigital world, and uncritical and hasty adoption of 'AI' technologies in universities, and without adequate, independent and credible evidence on short and long-term effects and adverse effects, Paulo Freire's works on #criticalpedagogy are more relevant and timely than ever.
Moreover, why does the oppressed, sometimes, adopt and root for the harmful technologies of the oppressor, or even "become" the oppressor itself? 
#PauloFreire
Pedagogy of the Oppressed, p. 45
"But almost always, during the initial stage of the struggle, the oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors, or "sub-oppressors."
This phenomenon derives from the fact that the oppressed, at a certain moment of their existential experience, adopt an attitude of "adhesion" to the oppressor. Under these circumstances they cannot "consider" him sufficiently clearly to objectivize him—to discover him "outside" themselves."

Someone told me that what the world needs most right now is another podcast, and by the time I figured out that person was being facetious, it was too late.
Announcing the launch of "KOHN'S ZONE: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom About Education and Kids." (Two episodes are available, and new ones will drop every 2 weeks.)
I invite you to listen and to spread the word!

"mâdunların hatrı sayılır bir kısmı sınıf atlamak ister,"
"bize mâdunun (eline fırsat geçtiğinde) kendi öznelliğinden, gündeminden vazgeçmeyeni, ana akıma kapılmayıp bulunduğu yeri kaybetmeyeni, dilsizlerin dili olmak için tüm yaratıcı güçlerini harekete geçireni lazım."

Who shapes the platforms we are told to use in education?
Digital tools are never neutral. They carry assumptions about pedagogy, power, and control.
In my latest blog post, I argue that digital policy is pedagogical. Educators need to engage with it, not just implement it.

"We can't automate this work, obviously. It’s not a task or a routine to be engineered. It’s relational, emotional."
Second Breakfast · The War on the ImaginationThere were numerous news items last week about surveillance and algorithmic decision-making in the workplace. These kinds of stories aren’t new, of course. But as Elon Musk has infiltrated the White House, instructing his minions to eliminate as much of the federal workforce as possible; and as the Trump

Aren’t you supposed to be working on your last assignment for the teaching period?
An introduction for my new instance:
My main interests are written communication, teaching writing, and education, particularly as they relate to productive disagreement explored in various contexts: rhetoric, organizational & workplace communication, organizational learning, training, research, emergent strategy, coalition work, and facilitation.

'A Return to Action: a discussion revisiting the values of action anthropology'
Brilliant class with such intelligent students!
#decolonisation #anthropology #criticalpedagogy
I had a great start of the week yesterday with the release of episode 1 of Degrees of Freedom season 3!
Marco de Carvalho Filho guided Tassos Sarampalis and me through a heartfelt exploration of Paolo Freire’s critical pedagogy and the role of education as a mean for liberation.
Sounds abstract but it was full of practical hints. Marco is leading and living a critical pedagogy experience in a very practical and meaningful way.
