Hacer Escuela/Inventing School: Latin American Pedagogy Conference @ 12th Floor lounge (April 12-13) and McMahon 109 (April 14)
Apr 12 – Apr 14 all-day

The Hacer Escuela/Inventing School workshop series brings together thinkers and practitioners from across the Americas who have developed new pedagogical techniques influenced by critical theory traditions, to share their work with professors, students, and others studying critical theory in the United States. Our project asks how, notwithstanding the increasing imposition of neoliberal measures, a variety of education movements from Latin American and the Caribbean have given rise to new understandings of pedagogical relations, of what it means to be a subject of education, and how educational practice can refigure public space.

Registration is free, but please register to help us better plan for the workshop.
