This extensive Handbook brings together different aspects of critical pedagogy in order to open up a clear international conversation on the subject, as well as pushing the boundaries of current understanding by extending the notion of a pedagogy to multiple pedagogies and perspectives. Bringing together contributing authors from around the globe, chapters provide a unique approach and insight to the discipline by crossing a range of disciplines and articulating common philosophical and social themes. Chapters are organised across three volumes and twelve core thematic sections:

Part 1: Social Theories of Critical Pedagogy 

Part 2: Seminal Figures in Critical Pedagogy 

Part 3: Transnational Perspectives and Critical Pedagogy

Part 4: Indigenous Perspectives and Critical Pedagogy

Part 5: On Education 

Part 6: In Classrooms 

Part 7: Critical Community Praxis

Part 8: Reading Critical Pedagogy, Reading Paulo Freire

Part 9: Communication, Media and Popular Culture 

Part 10: Arts and Aesthetics

Part 11: Critical Youth Pedagogies
