Each project loosely corresponded to sections of the class divided by three books as our cornerstones: Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Literacy, and Pedagogy of Freedom. I made the decision to make my project cumulative, drawing from all three texts to deal primarily with Freire’s ontology and epistemology in relation to disability pedagogy. Freed from the constraints of a traditional essay and timeline, I used Google Sites to act as the hub for understanding and enacting activist praxis over the course of the semester. The multimodal platform grew from three pages on the site for the first project to a total of nine for the third and final project.
