Teaching to Read, Reading to Question: Critical Lit in Education Degrees

The Centre for the Study of Social and Global Justice (CSSGJ) is delighted to host María Luz Bort Caballero for a thought-provoking talk titled “Teaching to Read, Reading to Question: Critical Literacy in Education Degrees.”

Drawing on her expertise in education and critical pedagogy, Bort Caballero explores how reading is never a neutral act, but a site of power, questioning, and possibility. The talk will reflect on what it means to cultivate critical literacy in higher education, why it matters for students and educators alike, and how it can reshape our understanding of teaching and learning.

Join us for this engaging discussion on the politics of reading, the role of questioning in education, and the importance of critical pedagogy in today’s world.
