Riassunto

The word ‘dignity’ isn’t typically used in education, yet it’s at the core of strong pedagogy. This book shows readers what education looks like when it is centered on students’ dignity. It brings dignity into sharper focus, moving the field toward a language that captures what is required for oppressed communities to recognise their potential.
