Pedagogy of Justice Series

Series Info

FCIP’s work is reflective of hooks’ and Freire’s commitment to a liberatory education imbued with the wisdom and experience of everyone involved in the educational endeavor, particularly those on the margins who are often left out of and erased from academia. We seek to honor their legacies, which aligns with FCIP’s own mission, to support Loyola instructors in delivering an honest, accessible, and mutually transformative education for our students.   

To commemorate hooks’ and Freire’s inspired contribution to many fields, including justice-oriented and values-based teaching, each year, Loyola scholars, educators and learners are invited to share their experiences with and knowledge of justice-oriented and values-based teaching and learning, with emphasis on the lenses of humility, empathy, love, hope and dialogue.
