Beyond Persuasion
Much entertainment education practice rests on persuasion and message delivery. My book, Emancipatory Approach in Entertainment Education for Sustainable Social Change (University of Jos Press, 2020), develops an alternative model rooted in critical theory and democratic educational principles.
Key Ideas
- Educatees as subjects of their own learning, not passive recipients
- Critical consciousness of difference and otherness as a condition for sustainable change
- Democratic principles for emancipatory education of minds for the future
