Critical Pedagogy, Dialogue and Tolerance: A Learning to Disagree Framework

Abstract

This chapter was written by a group of up-and-coming critical pedagogues, Maria Carolina Nieto Angel, Monica Maciel Vahl, and Bernadette Farrell, who describe themselves as migrant women living, researching, and teaching in New Zealand. These women illustrate their conceptualization of a new critical framework for learning to disagree. They argue that emancipatory consciousness unfolds through critical praxis, dialogue, and disagreement. As a result, this group presents not a prescription but a possibility for the development of such critical consciousness in their Creative Tension of Learning to Disagree Framework.
