Teaching Under Siege: The Post-Pandemic New Normal

Donaldo Macedo is professor emeritus and distinguished professor of Liberal Arts and Education at the University of Massachusetts-Boston. In this 26th Annual June Fox Lecture, he will discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by teachers in this pandemic era.

A critical theorist, linguist, and expert on literacy and education studies, Macedo has been a central figure in the field of critical pedagogy for more than 30 years. His work with Paulo Freire broke new theoretical ground, as it helped to develop a critical understanding of the ways in which language, power, and culture contribute to the positioning and formation of human experience and learning.

We will also hold an awards ceremony after the lecture.

Register here for this virtual event.


The annual June Fox Lecture continues Lesley's history of commitment to equity in education by honoring Professor Emerita June T. Fox, a distinguished former member of the Lesley faculty and dean of the Division of Education and Special Education, now the Graduate School of Education. Read more
