CFP: The Purpose of Education

Our advanced technological society is rapidly making objects of most of us and subtly programming us into conformity to the logic of its system. To the degree that this happens, we are also becoming submerged in a new “culture of silence.” —Richard Shaull, Forward toPedagogy of the Oppressed, 30th anniversary

Building Castles in the Air: Critical Digital Pedagogy and the Pursuit of Praxis

“If you have built castles in the air…that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” ~ Henry David Thoreau There is no one-size-fits-all strategy for teaching with technology, and the decisions about what the right tools are depends as much on the job as it does

Making a Space for the Digital and the Scholarly: The Editor as Teacher

On a beautiful June morning, I hurried through the streets of Bloomsbury to the University of London. These streets carry a great deal of imaginative and emotional resonance for me, layers of time and story. I think of Virginia Woolf and her luminous conjuring of a London morning in Mrs.

Embodying Openness as Inclusive Digital Praxis

It is much easier to pay lip service to notions such as critical pedagogy and open education, than it is to truly embody those ideals in our own practice. One of the struggles I share with Ellsworth (1989) [http://her.hepg.org/content/058342114k266250] is my discomfort with how theoretical

Breaking up with Facebook: Untethering from the Ideological Freight of Online Surveillance

During the summer of 2013, I scratched my seven-year itch. I broke up with Facebook. I first met the social media space in 2006, when the platform was in many ways an energetic youth bent on embracing all of life’s pleasures. Our relationship, like so many others, was full

“Digital pedagogy is becoming, for me, coterminous with critical pedagogy, given the degree to which the digital can function both as a tool for and an obstacle to liberation.” ~ Jesse Stommel, “Decoding Digital Pedagogy, pt. 2: (Un)Mapping the Terrain” [https://hybridpedagogy.org/decoding-digital-pedagogy-pt-2-unmapping-the-terrain/] Click here to read the articles
