Longer Description
In 2021, we will celebrate 100 years of Paulo Freire’s birth, it is appropriate to launch a new series with practical applications and experiences in curriculum, instruction, theory, and praxis of Freire’s ideas, methods, political philosophy, and praxis. The proposed short-length book series will be a unique take on Freire’s work, widening his audience and the subjects typically written upon. Offering a wide range of subjects in numerous fields, the Series will grow to cover various aspects within and between various disciplinary fields, occupations, interests, and concerns that people have for our world and the overall planet. The short books will introduce Freire’s work that will be written to be more easily understood by a wider audience without overly simplifying the depth of his scholarship. Each book will be edited to make certain that previous knowledge of Freire or the education field will not be needed by readers, as many of them might be first-time readers of Freire’s work. All complex theories and concepts will be explained through easy-to-understand descriptions within the text, as well as providing readers with references to other Freirean works. The books’ key aspects will be thoroughly explained and contextualized through various examples targeted for a diverse readership to better understand the issues at hand. As the Series grows in number, the books’ text will reference other book(s) in the Series for expanded reading on the topics, as well as other (non-)academic publications. The Series will also have the depth to be used within higher education, adult education, and continuing education (including teacher education) curricula, with balanced depth and breadth in (trans)disciplinary studies and skills-based training.
