Teaching

My teaching praxis is deeply inspired by the critical pedagogy tradition. For critical educators, there is a crucial distinction between banking education and democratic education. The former envisions students as passive containers in which knowledge is deposited, whereas the latter imagines learners as active agents in their own learning and in the transformation of society. I approach all of my classes with the goal to develop democratic educational spaces.
