This book introduces a variety of ways for educators to empower students as critical global citizens and agents of change using the educational theories of Paulo Freire. It covers key themes including social and planetary justice, ecopedagogy and sustainability education, diverse learner agency, restorative justice, women's leadership, and social change. The contributors offer practical strategies for educators battling against oppressive action that aims to repress teacher and student voice, offering an alternative to the increasing standardization of a neoliberal curriculum and competitive meritocracy.
