Abstract

Freire addresses an eclectic range of topics in the essays and letters - social change, literacy, technology, adult education, hope, and Utopia, among other subjects - and in so doing he revisits, reworks and extends key themes in his philosophy of education. A pedagogy of convergences is also a pedagogy of conversations - across cultures, spiritual traditions, disciplinary boundaries, and time - and continuing those conversations, by expanding the list of thinkers and activists considered, is an important task for the future.
