120: A Pedagogy of Love w/ Dr. Antonia Darder

<p>On today’s podcast we are joined by Dr. Antonia Darder. Antonia is an internationally recognized activist-scholar and Professor Emerita at Loyola Marymount University, where for more than a decade she held the Levey Presidential Endowed Chair of Ethics and Moral Leadership. Spanning over 4 decades, she has worked to counter social and material inequities in schools and society, including through critical scholarship, activism, and authoring books such as <em>Reinventing Paulo Freire: A Pedagogy of Love, A Dissident Voice: Essays on Culture, Pedagogy, and Power</em>, and <em>Culture and Difference: Critical Perspectives on the Bicultural Experience in the United States. </em>Further, she wrote and produced a student-community driven, award-winning documentary, <em>The Pervasiveness of Oppression.</em></p><br><p>In this episode, we talk about combating inequitable and inhospitable notions of the school system: from radical individualism which co-opts how students view themselves, each other, and society at-large, to corporate forces that shape policy and curriculum which damage learning outcomes. Instead, we can create a "pedagogy of love" which focuses on care, well-being, meaning-making, and democracy.</p><p><br></p><h2>GUESTS</h2><p><strong>Dr. Antonia Darder</strong> is an activist, scholar, and professor at Loyola Marymount University, and author of various works and critical scholarship including <em>Reinventing Paulo Freire: A Pedagogy of Love, A Dissident Voice: Essays on Culture, Pedagogy, and Power</em>, and <em>Culture and Difference: Critical Perspectives on the Bicultural Experience in the United States.</em></p><p><br></p><h2>RESOURCES</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.darder.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Antonia Darder's website</a></li><li><a href="https://www.darder.org/books" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Antonia Darder's bookstore</a></li><li><a href="https://www.darder.org/images/darder_radio_pedagogy.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Radio and th
