Informationen zum Autor César Augusto Rossatto teaches in the College of Education at the University of Texas, El Paso. Klappentext Engaging Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of Possibility is a cross-cultural case study of how people experience schooling in relation to their sense of time and optimism.

The findings of this study suggest that a curriculum based on Freirean critical pedagogy and time theories can be used to enhance time-consciousness values in contemporary social life.
