Freire’s life and work
It is the centenary of Paulo Freire’s birth and over fifty years since the publication of his most famous work Pedagogy of the Oppressed in English. In this Special Edition of the Australian Journal of Adult Learning (AJAL) we want to mark his extraordinary contribution as an educator, thinker and activist and to celebrate and critically reflect on his work and his legacy.
