The Paulo Freire Legacy Award

The Paulo Freire Legacy Award aims to recognize a mid or advanced career scholar and/or activist who is nationally and/or internationally recognized for their commitment to social justice and to transforming existing structures of oppression through education. The award recipient will be a person who, in theory and/or practice, has advanced Freirean philosophy and made a significant contribution to the field of critical pedagogy.

The Award presents us with a unique opportunity to honor and expand Paulo Freire’s legacy by connecting new generations of critical educators with the impressive accomplishments of our “elders”.

Any mid to advanced career scholar whose work can be considered a leading representation of the legacy of Paulo Freire’s ideas and undertakings in/through education shall be considered eligible.

 

Past Recipients:

Henry Giroux, Donaldo Macedo, Antonia Darder, Peter McLaren, David Hursh.
