Abstract

The article questions how pedagogy, the core of higher education institutions, is understood and operated within the academic world. By building on Paulo Freire’s The Pedagogy of Indignation, Estella Carpi discusses the behavioural dissonance between what academics write and teach (and, thus, to some extent, who they say they are) and how they actually behave in everyday life. In a system where patrons are still servants and servants will become patrons, a "radical" pedagogy is possible only if people actively work towards it consistently, rather than blaming an immobile, abstract system of power and control.
