(1994) - Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom - bell hooks

In Teaching to Transgress, bell hooks emphasizes the necessity of recognizing cultural diversity in education because she considers that it facilitates a sense of community learning where all voices are valued. She relies on her personal experience in racially integrated schools and how education was changed from a liberatory to a stereotyping practice. For hooks, teachers have to be self-actualized and committed to creating inclusive classrooms where individual expression and critical thinking are valued so that they can teach in a way that is engaging. Finally, she considers education a practice of freedom that is essential for personal and collective transformation.
