Reviving Virtue: Pragmatism and Perspective in Modern Times
Society & Culture:Philosophy
Join us for an enlightening dialogue with Dr. Mary Carol Combs, a renowned professor from the University of Arizona, as we delve into the contentious issue of bilingual education in Arizona. The conversation navigates through the intricacies of structured English immersion, the critical role of language in economic development, and the paradox of policies advocating for bilingualism while restricting bilingual education. Listen in as we dissect the complexities of language policy, explore language activism, and contemplate the political clarity required by educators. Our discussion also centers around the potential repercussions for 'noisy' activists and the paradoxes in the conservative approach to education policy. Finally, we reflect on linguistic diversity's immense potential in shaping our collective moral understanding and creative capacities. A central theme of our conversation is the influence and relevance of the work of Paulo Freire, the renowned Brazilian educator and philosopher known for his influential work, 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
