Giroux on Giroux

[from an interview with Carlos Torres]

Part 1

CT: What do you think your contributions to the discourse on critical pedagogy have been?

HG: It is important to stress that I draw upon and work in a critical tradition to which many people have contributed. No one person makes a contribution without the help of others.

. . . I make no claims for originality. I was lucky enough to be writing about issues at a historical time when a number of important theoretical considerations were being debated and many brilliant people were on the scene writing and thinking about new discourses and questions.

. . . Also, I am not sure how I changed the nature of the debate but there were a number of transitions in my work that signaled some changes in the broader debates about educational theory and practice.
