This book introduces a variety of ways for educators to empower students as critical global citizens and agents of change using the educational theories of Paulo Freire. It covers key themes including social and planetary justice, ecopedagogy and sustainability education, diverse learner agency, restorative justice, women's leadership, and social change. The contributors offer practical strategies for educators battling against oppressive action that aims to repress teacher and student voice, offering an alternative to the increasing standardization of a neoliberal curriculum and competitive meritocracy.

The edited volume Freire and Student Empowerment: Voice, Agency, and Transformative Pedagogies, demonstrates how Paulo Freire's pedagogical ideas continue to have a material reality today, inspiring educators to develop innovative approaches to learning that they are currently using in both K-12 and higher education classrooms. The authors show how Freire can and should be put into conversation with other theories and pedagogical strategies, such as queer pedagogy, place-based learning, eco-pedagogy, anti-racist education, counter-narratives, learning through political activism, theatrical performances, global citizenship education, and more. The Freirean praxis that you find in these pages is not the same popular education of the last century, it is creatively adapted for the unique challenges and diverse students of the twenty-first century.
