In 2021, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Paulo Freire’s birth and over fifty years since the initial publication of his most celebrated book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Freire has considerably influenced critical pedagogy and adult education and his critical legacy has had profound impact on educational thought and practice worldwide. During these challenging times of uncertainty and pandemic, we need critical pedagogy more than ever before, as Freire’s teaching and philosophies provide educators and practitioners with an important framework to understand the world today and to act upon it in search of social justice.
