47Conscientizacion y Comunidad: A Dialectical Description of Education as the Struggle for FreedomStudies in Philosophy and Education 18 (6): 389-403. 1999.This paper contributes to those analyses that have discussed Hegel'sinfluence on Freire, and Freire's rethinking of Hegel.

26Critical pedagogy and the praxis of worldly philosophyJournal of Philosophy of Education 40 (1). 2006.This essay is a review of Peter McLaren's most recent work, Capitalists and Conquerors: A Critical Pedagogy Against Empire.

7Heidegger’s Prognostic: Originary thinking at the end of philosophy of educationEducational Philosophy and Theory 48 (8): 798-810. 2016.This article is one in a series of attempts to clear discursive space for speculative thinking in education. The impulse to move toward another form of ‘philosophy of education’ is inspired by ongoing conversation with Heidegger, whose later work, in particular, indicated the possibility of a poetic thinking that could express the state of wonder from whence learning arises. Philosophers of education may be interested in the organized manner in which learning is organized at the level of culture…Read more
