Say you want a revolution: Suggestions for the impossible future of critical pedagogy (Luxembourg)

Abstract / Description of output

The question of the possibility of a critical pedagogy is immediately connected with the question of the possibility of education. What makes education possible, so I want to argue, is its impossibility. Hence, the only possible future for a critical pedagogy is an impossible future.
