In the fall of 2023, I had the opportunity to give the keynote presentation and conduct workshops at Universidad Nacional Costa Rica as part of the VIII Symposium on Social Studies and Civic Education and III Congress of the Central American Network for Research and Teaching in Social Studies and Critical Citizenship. I also met with a class of social studies teacher candidates at University of Costa Rica-San Ramón to discuss teaching for social justice in social studies education.
This past spring three of the students followed up with me to conduct an interview on critical pedagogy in social studies education, which has just been published in Revista Perspectivas: Estudios Sociales y Educación Cívica.
Thanks to Karol Granados Gamboa (UNA), Anderson Granados Trejos (UCR), and Lady Pamela Rodríguez Víquez (UCR) for their interests and efforts to conduct the interview (and translation) and to Revista Perspectivas for publishing it.
