Freire's work never stops, it doesn't age. As we (hopefully) evolve, we include critical theory and notions of power within all disciplines. As Freire emphasized: humor and humility are also included in authentic pedagogy. Freire's work is far more than a mechanistic curriculum, it is grounded in the understanding of how society works...and how we fit and work within it. Freire is not restricted by subject matter, his observations and words apply to us all. Engaging students of the arts, literature, and science reminds us that learning must be societal and communal. 100 years after his birth, we still acknowledge the essential nature of understanding Paulo Freire.
