Acts of Knowing aims to provide readers with a means of understanding the issues from the perspective of Critical Pedagogy; an educational philosophy which believes that 'knowing' must be freed from the constraints of the financial and managerialist logics which dominate the contemporary university. Critical Pedagogy is important for three key reasons: it conceptualises pedagogy as a process of engagement between the teacher and taught; secondly that that engagement is based on an underlying humanistic view about human worth and value; and thirdly that the 'knowing' which can come out of this engagement needs to be understood essentially as exchange between people, rather than a financial exchange. Cowden and Singh argue that the conception of education as simply a means for securing economic returns for the individual and for the society's positioning in a global marketplace, represents a fundamentally impoverished conception of education, which impoverishes not just individuals, but society as a whole 606 $aCritical pedagogy 606 $aEducation, Higher$xPhilosophy 606 $2Colleges of higher education 615 0$aCritical pedagogy. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xPhilosophy. 676 $a370.11/5 702 $aCowden$b Stephen 702 $aSingh$b Gurnam 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786221903321 996 $aActs of knowing$93794214 997 $aUNINA
