Jenn Manak (Professor of Education, Rollins College, Florida, USA) in dialogue with Gerald Faschingeder.
How does Paulo Freire’s work inspire teachers and professors of literacy? How can students be engaged in reading instruction in a way that respects their lived experiences and reading of the world? What does critical literacy as an emancipatory practice look like? As a literacy professor, Jenn Manak prepares teachers in the U.S. and abroad to engage their students in meaningful reading, writing, speaking, and listening in their classrooms. What does it mean to read the word and read the world?
