The Social Inquiry Committee of the Erich Fromm Society of North America (A Branch of the International Erich Fromm Society) invites you to the committee’s first public webinar:
“Erich Fromm and Critical Pedagogy” — Thursday, May 18, 4pm-6pm PST
Speakers: Arnold Farr, Tricia Kress, and Robert Lake
Erich Fromm was influential on the development of critical pedagogy, including being the most-cited author in Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed as well as influential on the work of bell hooks, among others. In addition, Fromm himself was a theorist on pedagogy in various respects, including exploring the implications of Dewey’s radical democratic approach to education. We invited three scholars who have engaged work in the Frankfurt School, Fromm, and emancipatory philosophies of education to help us bring Fromm’s Critical Theory into dialogue with critical pedagogy for today’s context.
