passion for the work
Abenjamin,
I too am struck by Freire's words about the role of passion or love in education; in fact, each time I read Freire I think I'm a little surprised by how openly he addresses this -- as opposed to the split between the 'academic' and the 'emotional' in a lot of ed-related texts and talk. You note (and I agree) that he's talking about 'passion for our fields,' at least in part. Do you also read him as talking about educators loving our students? I'm intrigued by your final sentence, and the idea that 'mutual passion' can 'bridge' the oppressor-oppressed gap via dialogue -- I'd love to hear more about how you see this working!
