What People Say

Ira Shor
A colleague sent me a blog mentioning me which you had graciously responded to offering your website as a resource on critical pedagogy. Just wanted to thank you for the work you've put into this admirable decoding of the critical end of things...(Ira Shor )
 
Peter Mayo
This is a superb resource which forges links between important areas -architecture, sociology and critical education.  I shall certainly share this with colleagues/students, friends and family members starting with my daughter who is an architect. It is also a brilliant teaching tool.
 
Antonia Darder
This is a great resource! I will definitely... pass on the information to others. (Antonia Darder )
 
Tor Iorapuu
Found your site electrifying. Thanks for this wonderful site that I have just discovered. I teach in the University in Nigeria and my background is Theatre and my areas of interests are Theatre for Development and Community Organizing. Recently, I have been looking at Transformative Theatre as a counter revolution to theatre for Development. Your work is extensive I would like to engage with you frequently on your work..
 
Carmel Borg
This is one of the best teaching tools in Critical Pedagogy that I have come across as a specialist in the field. I will definitely include the site as a reference in my courses.
 
Peter McLaren
Great article Tony!  And what a terrific website! A wonderful job bringing together themes and issues of importance to critical educators everywhere. There is much to offer social justice educators from a variety of fields. Well done, companero.(Peter Mclaren)
 
Michael Peters

 ... an excellent job in bringing together new material, case studies and new perspectives on critical practices. (The) particular perspectives on space and architecture is so centrally important in understanding globalization. (Michael Peters)

 
Rebecca Moran
I did go to your web site. It is a valuable and wonderful resource and being in graduate school I am grateful for it. I don't have much leisure time. Your writing is so clear and makes important connections between areas that I am vaguely aware of but  did not have enough perspective to see whole. I feel like I have found a "rosette stone".
