In this latest and most belated episode I spoke with critical epidemiologist Tyler Munn (@TylerMunn_) and veteran organizer and educator Aalya Ahmad (@AalyaAhmad). We came together to chat about an individual who we hold mutual love and respect for, who had one of the biggest swingin' cods in modern Brazilian history, and who forever changed the way that we look at education and the world within a leftist context: Paulo Freire.

The idea of Critical Pedagogy introduced in his book Pedagogy of the Oppressed is what Paolo Freire is best know for. We explore a couple core concepts from the text and talk about how education needs to move beyond the classroom. We delve into the concepts of the student-teacher and teacher-student dynamic and how that can be applied to organizing! We also get some incredible insights into how community health education needs to evolve and about the government roadblocks that are in the way.
