The Liminal Servant and the Ritual Roots of Critical Pedagogy.

McLaren, Peter L.

Language Arts, v65 n2 p164-79 Feb 1988

Proposes that the teacher-as-liminal-servant (stripped of usual status and authority) within a critical pedagogy is guided by compassion and commitment to teach as a social and moral agent in the service of social transformation. Asserts that educational rituals must create classroom conditions that spawn liminal dimensions of learning. (MM)
