Abstract

The article discusses the intersection of Freirean pedagogy and environmentalism, focusing on Greg Misiaszek's analysis of Freire's relationship to contemporary environmental issues. Misiaszek argues for the legitimacy of Freirean pedagogy as a response to climate and biodiversity crises, but faces challenges in positioning Freire as an environmental thinker. The text delves into the concept of ecopedagogy, emphasizing the need to deepen students' perspectives on environmental injustice and critiquing neoliberal education models. Misiaszek's work is situated within the critical pedagogical tradition, but some critics argue that he falls short in addressing the systemic issues of capitalism and neoliberalism that contribute to environmental degradation.
