Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom by bell hooks

Описание: Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom by bell hooks

In this video overview, we explore the revolutionary insights of bell hooks in her seminal work, Teaching to Transgress. hooks challenges the traditional boundaries of the classroom, urging educators and students alike to view education as the practice of freedom. We discuss her critique of the "banking system" of education, where students are passive consumers, and examine her proposal for an "engaged pedagogy" that prioritizes student expression and critical thinking.

The video covers hooks' personal journey from the segregated schools of the South to the elite halls of the academy, highlighting how race, class, and gender shape the learning environment. We delve into her dialogue with the work of Paulo Freire, the importance of excitement and eros in the classroom, and the necessity of confronting the "mind/body split." Finally, we look at how hooks envisions the classroom as a site of resistance and a place to build a community that transgresses the limits of domination.
