There is a radical element to existence, which is the radical act of asking questions… At root human existence involves surprise, questioning and risk. And because of all this, it involves actions and change.” —Paulo Freire Learning to Question: A Pedagogy of Liberation Contents Introduction 1 Teaching 1 Critical Thinking 7 Teaching 2 Democratic Education 13 Teaching 3 Engaged Pedagogy 19 Teaching 4 Decolonization 23 Teaching 5 Integrity 29 Teaching 6 Purpose 33 vii viii Contents Teaching 7 Collaboration 37 (written with Ron Scapp) Teaching 8 Conversation 43 Teaching 9 Telling the Story 49 Teaching 10 Sharing the Story 55 Teaching 11 Imagination 59 Teaching 12 To Lecture or Not 63 Teaching 13 Humor in the Classroom 69 Teaching 14 Crying Time 77 Teaching 15 Confl ict 85 Teaching 16 Feminist Revolution 91 Teaching 17 Black, Female, and Academic 95 Teaching 18 Learning Past the Hate 103 Contents ix Teaching 19 Honoring Teachers 111 Teaching 20 Teachers against Teaching 117 Teaching 21 Self-Esteem 121 Teaching 22 The Joy of Reading 127 Teaching 23 Intellectual Life 135 Teaching 24 Writing Books for Children 141 Teaching 25 Spirituality 147 Teaching 26 Touch 153 Teaching 27 To Love Again 159 Teaching 28 Feminist Change 165 Teaching 29 Moving Past Race and Gender 169 Teaching 30 Talking Sex 177 x Contents Teaching 31 Teaching as Prophetic Vocation 181 Teaching 32 Practical Wisdom 185 Index 189
