We Make the Road by Walking
We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on Education and Social Change | Paulo Freire, Myles Horton, Brenda Bell, John Gaventa
3 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
This dialogue between two of the most prominent thinkers on social change in the twentieth century was certainly a meeting of giants. Throughout their highly personal conversations recorded here, Horton and Freire discuss the nature of social change and empowerment and their individual literacy campaigns.

When you need to take reading notes, what is your preferred method? I typically do text annotations right in my books, but lately, most of my professional reads are from Interlibrary loan. I started just marking w/blank sticky notes. Later, I was able to review the book as a whole w/stickies & deciding what to write in my notes. I like how this contributed to my overall understanding & synthesis of the text. What do you do? #bulletjournal

I read this book for the education book club found at BryanAlexander.org/tag/road & #HortonFreire It was an intriguing read, sometimes reinforcing my own educational philosophy and sometimes challenging it. Published in 1990, the ideas discussed are still very relevant to current events both in and outside of education. I appreciate the cognitive dissonance. #teachersoflitsy #PDreads

When the library book you checked out has lots of writing in it, but not from you. Marks like this are all over the book. Someone really liked it. Also, I'm reading this for an online education book club. This title was published over 25 years ago, but still seems rather relevant. It is providing me with some interesting cognitive dissonance. #teachersoflitsy #HortonFreire #PDreads

charl08 That sounds like a brilliant book group! Freire is a genius. 7y
Ellsbeth @charl08 I am enjoying his ideas and how they push my own thinking. You can see more on the book club on other platforms with #HortonFreire and at BryanAlexander.org/tag/road 7y
charl08 Thanks! I'll have a look. 7y
