GFADAF EP 13 Paulo Freire and the Pedagogy of the Oppressed Tap Dancer
Who wants an episode on the philosophy of education? Too bad, you're getting one anyways!

On this episode, host Tristan Bruns dives into the philosophy of Paulo Freire, the famed Brazilian educator who taught hundreds of illiterate people in Brazil to read in only 45 days (!) and who influenced such scholars as bell hooks and more. Bruns talks about Freire's method of "problem-posing education," and how it can be applied to tap dance on an individual, macro and super-macro scale. Plus, the Tap Dance Podcast Roundup!

Thank you to Patreon subscribers Junior Laniyan (nice seeing you at the last Tap Dance Research Network UK online event!) and Lori Williams.

If YOU would like to get the script with notes on sources and copies of the materials used in all episodes, consider supporting Gasps on Patreon—Half of all proceeds go to the M.A.D.D. Rhythms Tap Academy in the Bronzeville neighborhood on beautiful and historic South Side of Chicago.

And special thanks to tap dancer Nicholas Van Young who recently mentioned the podcast at an event in Cleveland. Maybe Young—an expert when it comes to all things audio and electronic—will teach Bruns (it's me, I only pretend like someone else writes these) how to get better sound out of his equipment. Who knows! Thanks, Nick, you're the real deal...And that's no B.S. (Chorus).

Thanks to Cleveland-based tap dancer, Torie Gray, for the heads up. You're an official Gasps correspondent!
