Sažetak
Peter McLaren is Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies and and Co-Director of the Paulo Freire Democratic Project at the College of Educational Studies, Chapman University, Emeritus Professor of Urban Education at the University of California, Los Angeles, Emeritus Professor of Educational Leadership at Miami University of Ohio, and Honorary Director of the Center for Critical Studies in Education at Northeast Normal University in China, where he also holds the position of Chair Professor. As a fresh graduate of English literature, Peter spent five years as elementary teacher in suburban Toronto housing projects. In 1980, he wrote one of Canada’s top-selling non-fiction books of the year Cries from the Corridor. Later on, he was to expand it into the classic textbook of critical education, Life in Schools: An Introduction to Critical Pedagogy in the Foundations of Education (2014) which is now in its sixth edition, and which was named one of the 12 most significant writings by foreign authors in the field of educational theory, policy and practice by the Moscow School of Social and Economic Sciences. In 2007, Peter debuted as a poet in MRZine (2013). Peter has published more than fifty books and hundreds of scholarly articles and chapters that have been translated into more than twenty languages, and his name has slowly but surely become almost synonymous with the contemporary project of critical education. Amongst numerous rewards, five books written by Peter have been winners of American Education Studies Association Critics Choice Awards, and his work has been the foundation for several dedicated institutions, including La Fundacion McLaren de Pedagogia Critica and Instituto Peter McLaren in Mexico and La Catedra Peter McLaren at the Bolivarian University in Caracas. Peter received an honorary doctorate by the University of Lapland, Finland (2004) and by Universidad del Salvador in Buenos Aires, Argentina (2010). He also received the Amigo Honorifica de la Comunidad Universitaria de esta Institucion by La Universidad Pedagogica Nacional, Unidad 141, Guadalajara, Mexico. In 2016, Peter’s latest book Pedagogy of Insurrection: From Resurrection to Revolution (McLaren, 2015) has received Division B Outstanding Book Recognition Award by the American Education Research Association, and Society of Professors of Education Book Award. As the “intellectual relative” of Paulo Freire (Freire, 1995: X), and one of the leading architects of contemporary critical pedagogy, Peter has left an invaluable mark in past and present of the educational left. Yet, Peter has never looked backwards. Instead of lulling in the well-deserved secure position of a senior intellectual, in 2015 he published the ground- breaking book Pedagogy of Insurrection (McLaren, 2015) which develops a new emancipatory praxis at the crossroads between revolutionary critical pedagogy and liberation theology. This conversation brings about some of the most recent and deepest insights of Peter McLaren into the relationship between revolutionary critical pedagogy and liberation theology, and outlines the main directions of development of Peter’s thought during and after Pedagogy of Insurrection (McLaren, 2015).
