Inclusive spaces: Re-imagining critical pedagogy as an experiential approach within the neoliberal university

Introduction

Inclusive spaces: re-imagining critical pedagogy as an experiential approach within the neoliberal university. Explore critical pedagogy as an experiential approach to foster inclusivity within the neoliberal university. Learn how active learning promotes democratic skills for social justice.

Abstract

In this paper, I explore the potential of critical pedagogy as an experiential approach within the neoliberal university to support inclusivity. I argue that the university is neoliberal in its promotion of individual and self-interested self-gain at the expense of a more democratic and collective understanding of success. Critical pedagogy is founded on principles of democratic ways of working for social justice, and I argue that operationalised through active experiential learning, it can be used to support students to develop the skills to be democratic and inclusive both in the classroom and beyond.
