Julie M. Porterfield Associate Librarian, Instrucion and Outreach Archivist

Book Title: Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Author: Paulo Freire

Selection Statement:

Without Paulo Freire’s seminal work, my research agenda, which focuses on the use of primary sources and critical pedagogical techniques, would not have been possible. This first American edition (1970) will be housed in the Eberly Family Special Collections Library, where I have endeavored to not only study but also practice Freire principles for education in the information literacy classroom.
