An extraordinary tribute to the visions of Joyce Canaan, a vibrant
academic activist who touched so many with her intellect, her
acuity, her humanity and her love. Anyone interested in critical
pedagogy has to read this inspiring book that takes so many slices
on what the university has become and what it still might be.
(Professor Michael Burawoy, University of California, Berkeley)
This Festschrift is a beautiful tribute to Joyce Canaan, a woman
whose revolutionary intellect and commitment should be treasured
and studied, not only remembered. Each contribution illuminates her
voice and expands on her spirit. The result is a volume that traces
how we learn in the pursuit for justice, through building and
sharing knowledge within a community of struggle. This is an
important volume for any student of revolutionary and feminist
education. (Sara Carpenter, Department of Educational Studies,
University of Alberta) After the great global "pause", this volume
presents an exciting look forward through the memory of boundary
crosser, Joyce Canaan, whose life's work scrutinized the impact of
neoliberal regimes of accountability and the academy's compliance
with these processes. Collectively, the contributors warn of
cultural myopia: that cultural near-sightedness that stands in the
way of critical engagement with exclusionary mechanisms at both the
pedagogic and economic levels. (Sheila Landers Macrine, University
of Massachusetts, Dartmouth) Joyce Canaan's life illustrates what
it means to be angry at social injustice and to challenge it
through theory and practice, spirit and emotion, intellectual
rigour, love and humour. This collection movingly and rigorously
celebrates her personal contribution through engaging with
contemporary issues for critical pedagogy today. (Jim Crowther,
Honorary Fellow, University of Edinburgh) Critical Pedagogy and
Emancipation: A Festschrift in Memory of Joyce Canaan offers its
readers a powerful vision of how radical educational praxis based
on genuine dialogue and solidarity can "humanise" both learners'
and teachers' experience of education and invigorate revolutionary
and socialist democratic politics of the Left. The book is written
as a celebration of the legacy of Professor Joyce Canaan
(1950-2018), a radical intellectual and feminist. The contributors
take her project of critical pedagogical scholar-activism as their
common point of departure, developing themes - drawing in
particular on public sociology, social movement and popular
education, as well as critical pedagogy - around critiques of the
neoliberal university, popular and working-class educational
movements, feminism, anti-racism, climate justice, critical theory
and politically engaged teaching, learning and research.
