Critical literacy and popular culture in urban education: Toward a pedagogy of access and dissent By Ernest Morrell
Author(s): Ernest Morrell
Abstract:
Ernest Morrell, professor of education at UCLA, offers an overview of critical literacy and popular culture beginning with definitions and a framework for a pedagogy of access and dissent. Morrell argues for the need to teach access to academic literacies and also social critique of power relationships. Through case studies with inner-city youth, practical applications illuminate examples of praxis, students learning academic literacies and also becoming ethnographic researchers positioned as activists and advocates for social change.
