Biography

"Peter McLaren’s work occupies a very special place which has grown in its specificity and character and this needs to be strongly identified, uniquely appreciated and further articulated in order to be understood. I would argue that while sustaining a huge share of what is now identified with critical pedagogy, Peter McLaren must be seen from beyond those confines as his work moves even beyond education itself.... If I were to place McLaren’s depiction somewhere in the historical evolution of European art, I would say that it claims its humanist origin in the Late Renaissance, by which it then acclaims the radicalism of a Caravaggio and Tintoretto, fighting for human redemption through its stark realism. On the other hand, unlike McLaren, Illich’s depiction often verges between the Medieval and Early Renaissance, by which his reticence on full-blown humanism reveals a sense of careful subtlety; the reason being that of gaining a necessary methodological distance, by which the present is analyzed in full historiographical fashion ... A desired utopia—an ou topos, a no placethat as yet does not seem to exist—is what makes one’s outlook revolutionary. Here the Christian message is put across as a narrative which at the very best would put one on the receiving end of immense hostility, and at its worse it would lose one’s life, as McLaren goes to show in citing his own hagiography of personalities whom he affectionately considers as 'comrades': from Jesus to Che Guevara, from Paulo Freire to Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. In citing such a hagiography of the Revolution, McLaren feels the need to impress on his readers that the desire for struggle is a sign of being human: 'How is it possible to follow the message of Christ when his dire warnings about economic inequality are ignored?' asks McLaren. 'If you accept Christ as your personal savior and support a system that creates inequality and injustice, then what does this say? This goes beyond whether you vote for a Democrat or a Republican. It is at the heart of the struggle to be human.'"
— John Baldacchino, Professor of Arts Education and the Director of the Arts Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Praise for McLaren's book, Capitalists and Conquerors:
"Capitalists and Conquerors is a passionate critique of the militarization and corporatization of social life in all of its myriad dimensions, a searing indictment of the Bush administration and the war in Iraq, and an urgent call to reclaim democracy through critical pedagogy and grassroots activism."
— Daniel Ellsberg, author of Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers

Praise for Postdigital Dialogues on Critical Pedagogy, Liberation Theology and Information Technology by Peter McLaren and Petar Jandrić:
"If there ever was an urgent need for revolutionary critical pedagogy, it is in today's dystopian world. These inspiring dialogues between two great minds and activists are full of pertinent insights useful to navigate ourselves in the early 21st century and, hopefully, to change our today's predicament. Not constrained by typical academic conventions, this book offers a much needed subversive manual for a future worth hoping - and fighting for."
— Srećko Horvat, philosopher, author of Poetry from the Future

“In an age when critical pedagogy and a new language for rethinking politics is crucial, Postdigital Dialogues on Critical Pedagogy, Liberation Theology, and Information Technology is a crucial book to read, study, and give to others.”
— Henry Giroux, author of The Terror of the Unforeseen

“Postdigital Dialogues on Critical Pedagogy, Liberation Theology, and Information Technology welds together biography, treatise, and analysis in service of excavating the possibilities for human liberation under the staggeringly complex conditions of a technologically saturated, ecologically ruinous state of late capitalism. Wide ranging and lucid, Peter McLaren and Petar Jandrić, draw on decades of research, personal experience, and critical philosophy in order to offer thought-provoking insights and practical ways forward.”
— Gabriella Coleman, The Wolfe Chair in Scientific and Technological Literacy at McGill University, author of Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous

“This book shows the importance of critical pedagogy and liberation theology as intellectual means of struggle against digital capitalism. An essential reading for anyone interested in the advancement of socialist humanism.”
— Christian Fuchs, author of Communication and Capitalism: A Critical Theory, Rereading Marx in the Age of Digital Capitalism, and Marxism: Karl Marx’s Fifteen Key Concepts for Cultural and Communication Studies

“Postdigital Dialogues on Critical Pedagogy, Liberation Theology, and Information Technology is reminiscent of what Paulo Freire called ‘talking books,’ which bring two powerful authors into a direct and fluidly exchange. As such, it exemplifies the very power of dialogue, illustrating the inextricable relationship of knowledge as both a social construction and collective endeavor. The result is a beautiful treatise that, although focused on Peter McLaren, allows the multiplicity of questions and responses to boldly weave a powerful story, from where essential political issues crucial to our liberation and the survival of the planet can emerge. In this sense, McLaren and Jandrić convey a beautiful dance of ideas, woven intricately over the years from each man’s consciousness, scholarship, and lived experiences as radical intellectuals, political freedom fighters, and transformative advocates in the world.”
— Antonia Darder, Endowed Chair of Ethics & Moral Leadership, Loyola Marymount University

“In Postdigital Dialogues on Critical Pedagogy, Liberation Theology, and Information Technology, Peter McLaren and Petar Jandrić have provided us with a pathbreaking volume traversing the realms of Marxist theory, critical pedagogy, and Liberation Theology combined with the most creative, far-reaching applications of critical social theory likely to be found anywhere. Those applications extend to the realms of modern technology, global capitalism, ecological crisis, U.S. imperialism, and of course the state of modern education in the United States and elsewhere. This is nothing short of a landmark contribution to literature spanning the fields of history, sociology, global studies, philosophy, and education. McLaren’s iconic work is also biographically highlighted here, starting with an introductory section (written by Jandrić) that brilliantly traces the personal and intellectual development of the world’s leading critical pedagogical theorist. A highly-recommended collection of essays for anyone interested in state-of-the-art revolutionary theorizing that outlines a much-needed path out of the modern crisis.”
– Carl Boggs, author of Fascism Old and New

“This is a truly inspiring convergence of revolutionary ideas to offer signposts for redemption in this baleful 'New Fascist' era.”
— Peter Mayo, author of Higher Education in a Globalising World and Hegemony and Education under Neoliberalism. Insights from Gramsci

“This is a wide-ranging, provocative, and insurrectional series of transnational dialogues that becomes an immediate classic within the much beloved tradition of the ‘Talking Book’ in critical pedagogy. #tospeakatrueword #planetarity #fuckglobalwhitesupremacy!”
— Richard Kahn, Professor of Education, Antioch University Los Angeles

“Peter McLaren stands among the doyens of critical pedagogues, having done much to take the field forward over decades, and this book – of correspondences with Petar Jandrić – goes far in revealing the breadth of that endeavor. To read this book is to eavesdrop on an extraordinary conversation, at once intimate and enriching. Chock-full of insights, this volume exemplifies a lifetime of passionate, humane and radical scholarship, as McLaren ranges effortlessly across education, social theory, religion, the digital age, ecology and the Anthropocene. The cast includes Jesus, Marx, Freire, Rand and Trump and it is clear where McLaren stands in each case. This book is both immensely enjoyable and educational and I shall want to read it again.”
— Ronald Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, University College London Institute of Education

“Peter and Petar, the wonderful namesakes, have written a book consisting of epiphanic dialogues in their idiosyncratic and rousing styles. The book is an introduction to the authors’ recent thinking, an emic view to the work and research themes of two critical scholars, and also a demonstration of how the discourse of critical pedagogy has over the years expanded from the classroom and public pedagogy to comprise various themes in the changing relationship between technology, education, and society.”
– Juha Suoranta, Tampere University, Finland.

“In this thought provocative book, Peter McLaren and Petar Jandrić push again the borders of existing thinking on radical critical pedagogy. In our current times of transhumanism, this book offers its readers new spaces for hope and revolutionary praxis. By connecting faith and postdigital sciences this dialogical book goes beyond addressing issues of capitalism to suggesting a way to reclaim the future of humanity.”
— Maria Nikolakaki, Associate Professor, University of Peloponnese, Greece.

“What started out as a multiyear dialogue between world-renowned educator Peter McLaren and communications technology scholar-activist Petar Jandrić has morphed here into a must-read reflection on revolutionary critical pedagogy and liberation theology as an indispensable reservoir of theories, ideas, insights and practices to draw on for those who want to confront the ravages of a predatory global capitalism. Wide ranging and exciting, of the greatest political urgency, this work will inform and inspire contemporary emancipatory struggles around the world.”
— William I. Robinson, Professor of Sociology, University of California at Santa Barbara, author of Into the Tempest: Essays on the New Global Capitalism

“This ground-breaking work by two eminent scholars a generation apart in age addresses crucial questions as to whether digital technologies and rapid communication can help free us from a seemingly never-ending capital accumulation designed only to benefit the few. Using ideas from critical pedagogy and liberation theory it asks whether there is hope that new technologies can help the many become more complete and equal human beings in a world no longer devoted to profit and exploitation.”
— Sally Tomlinson is Emeritus Professor at Goldsmiths London University and an Honorary Fellow in the Education Department, University of Oxford.

“This book is both a homage to, and a kind of radical intensification of, the educational dialogue. McLaren and Jandrić’s exchanges not only excavate the value of critical pedagogy in contemporary times of techno-capitalism, but also expose the richness of their surrounding intellectual communities. The result is a hopeful work that develops liberation theology for the postdigital era.”
— Jeremy Knox, University of Edinburgh

“In proposing a revolutionary critical pedagogy as a tool informing the struggle for a liberated future McLaren and Jandrić have done a great service in recapitulating past critical theories and indicating a way forward towards a future beyond a digitized capitalism. I highly recommend their conversation as a critical thought provoking and emotion eliciting exercise.”
— Helen Raduntz, Adjunct Research Fellow, University of South Australia

“Peter McLaren and Petar Jandrić’s Postdigital Dialogues on Critical Pedagogy, Liberation Theology, and Information Technology boldly confronts, in illuminating conceptual analyses, a multitude of contemporary challenges to the creation of new human relations, relations that are not rooted in the value form of labor but rather in human production for humans – production that affirms every other being as a necessary facet integral to one’s own essential and total being. Grappling with such pressing issues as the formation of consciousness in an ecosystem saturated by technology, the re-emergence of authoritarianism and fascist social structures, and the stakes in attempts to reconcile the spiritual and the material, McLaren and Jandrić range far and wide, but through sharp dialectical reasoning, they always bring the analyses back to capitalism as a totality that must be abolished. In their far ranging discussions, McLaren and Jandrić vigorously deploy ‘theory’ in the particular sense articulated by Theodor W. Adorno: as that which ‘seeks to give a name to what secretly holds the machinery together,’ that which ‘seeks to raise the stone under which the monster lies brooding.’”
— Deborah Kelsh, The College of Saint Rose

“This book is an invitation to join McLaren and Jandrić on a rigorous yet lively, challenging yet rewarding walk across a sprawling range of pressing political, scientific, educational, and yes, even theological issues of our time. The walk is rigorous in the depth and nuance of the research and argumentation; it’s lively in the way the dialogues are situated again and again in the ongoing political antagonisms of our era; its challenging as it weaves together diverse thinkers together in unorthodox ways; and its rewarding not because it leaves the reading having finally ‘got it,’ but rather because it leaves us with an entirely new set of questions to explore, and the resources necessary to explore them.”
— Derek R. Ford, assistant professor of education studies, DePauw University

“In this excellent book, Petar Jandrić and Peter McLaren have created a perceptive commentary on the possibilities and perils of our postdigital world.”
— Richard Barbrook, Senior Lecturer in Politics at the University of Westminster, founder member of Class Wargames and director of the Digital Liberties cooperative.

“Peter McLaren and Petar Jandrić have written a necessary book for these times. Book that no social militant can stop reading.”
— Fernando Lázaro (Argentina), Educador Popular, Docente Universidad Nacional de Luján Militante social CEIPH

Praiser for McLaren's book, Che Guevara, Paulo Freire and the Pedagogy of Revolution:

"Che Guevara is usually perceived as a Romantic model whom we should admire, while pursuing our daily business as usual—the most perverse defense against what Che stood for. What McLaren's fascinating book demonstrates is that, on the contrary, Che is a model for our times, a figure we should imitate in our struggle against neoliberal global capitalism."
— Slavoj Žižek

On Che Guevara, Paulo Freire and the Pedagogy of Revolution:
"brilliant blend of passion, commitment, and critical analysis and insight.... It is also one of the most important books on critical education, and thus also education and social justice, to have been written in the twentieth century."
— Paula Allman

Of McLaren’s book, Pedagogy of Insurrection:

"Pedagogy of Insurrection represents an integration of McLaren’s critical pedagogy work

with his understanding and belief in Jesus and the revolutionary Christianity that he founded.

McLaren finds inspiration in liberation theologians such as Gutiérrez, Marxist comrades from all over, and most especially the life of Jesus, whom he names as a revolutionary. McLaren builds on his lifetime of scholarship in opposing neo‑liberal education, unbridled capitalism, and systemic oppression, and weaves his understanding of a radical Christian message through it."
— Leona English

Praise for Peter McLaren's graphic novel/comic book for the new generation of political activists, Breaking Free: The Life and Times of Peter McLaren:
“The indomitable Peter McLaren is the living embodiment of critical pedagogy, a truly radical ed- ucator who has always been interested in stretching the limits of genre to explore, innovate and communicate. In the comic Breaking Free we see his ability to reinvent himself and communicate himself and his ideas afresh. That’s why we all love him.”
— Michael A. Peters, Distinguished Professor at Beijing Normal University, China, Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

“Albert Einstein once said that a life lived in the service of others is a life worth living. Now comes the story of Peter McLaren. The life and times of this renowned radical educator, as recountedin these engaging pages, holds up a mirror in whose reflection we see the great aspirations of our age. At once a piece of art, social criticism, and critical pedagogy, here is a portrait of the contemporary struggles of the oppressed, told to the backdrop of McLaren’s biography. Nothing less than a modern epic!”
— William I. Robinson, Author of Into the Tempest: Essays on the New Global Capitalism

“A valuable sort of 'McLaren for Beginners' in which Peter offers his own Pedagogy of Hope in the stylistic tradition of Zap Comix! The resulting graphic memoir is a radically socialist and coun tercultural portrait of a life imaged both as and on behalf of the attempted humanization of the world. Critical pedagogy by any means necessary.”
— Richard Kahn, Ph.D., Antioch University, Los Angeles

“A wonderfully colorful, creative, radical, and lively way to bring together the lived history of an individual with the larger historical struggle for a more just world—indeed a revolutionary message for our times.”
— Antonia Darder, Leavey Endowed Chair in Ethics and Leadership,Loyola Marymount University

“Globally esteemed and erudite critical pedagogy icon McLaren, once again breaks new ground, collaborating with illustrator Miles Wilson, creating an autobiography that is one and the same time a Manifesto for a socialist alternative to capitalism. The images, darkly humorous, present a serious challenge for a new generation of youth.”
— Bernardo Gallegos, Professor, National University, Los Angeles

“A comic book! A comic book! But there’s nothing really comic about this graphic autobiography by one of our era’s most creative philosophers of education. After branching out from Paulo Freire to liberation theology, Peter McLaren’s poetic genius and astounding imagination have outdone themselves here with 'Pow!,' 'Crash!,' and Bang!' that will leave readers inspired, breathless and smiling with delight.”
— Mike Rivage-Seul, Emeritus professor of Peace and Social Justice Studies, Berea College

“How was the radical educator educated? Find out here, as Peter McLaren leads us through the liberatory labyrinth of his life—from Toronto to San Francisco, Chiapas to Caracas, Azania to Anatolia, UCLA to the PRC. Meet his superhero comrades from Hugo Chavez to Che Guevara’s daughter. Sail with him as he tacks between the turbulent tides of his allies Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsberg. Meet the teacher’s teachers—Umberto Eco and Michel Foucault, Paolo Freire and Joel Kovel. The script is Professor Xavier meets The Invisibles. The illustrations are The Yellow Submarine meets Fantastic Planet, and/or Dragonball Z meets Transmetropolitan. Look out Avengers and Justice League! Breaking free of the artificial scarcity on superpowers, UCLA’s most dangerous professor is here, armed with critical pedagogy and Marxist spirituality, to fight against bad schools and bad government, and to help us all join the revolution against the capitalist world-system and its national security states.”
— Quincy Saul, author/editor of Truth and Dare: A Comic Book Curriculum for the End and the Beginning of the World

"With word balloons, dramatic action sequences, narrative succinctness, deeply personal transformational shifts, rich diachronic development, cameo-like appearances, genuine humor, and intellectual depth, Breaking Free performs itself. The text not only narrates the pivotal experiences and influences that shaped the intellectual and praxis-orientated life of Peter McLaren, but the comic book format, with its visual textual genius, breaks free from the turgid style of so many intellectual autobiographies. The color and textual graphic detail renders the life of a very significant radical educator accessible, engagingly funny, unforgettable, and painfully germane as we face the toxicity, madness, and dangers of the Trumpian project of neo-fascism and the spread of right-wing authoritarianism that is designed precisely to keep us in a state of perpetual unfreedom. Breaking Free is not a static narration, but a dynamic call to action."
— George Yancy, Professor of Philosophy at Emory University and author of Backlash: What Happens When We Talk Honestly about Racism in America

Born to a working-class family in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in 1948, and raised in both Toronto, Ontario and Winnipeg, Manitoba, Professor McLaren taught elementary and middle school from 1974-1979, and most of that time was spent teaching in Canada’s largest public housing complex located in Toronto’s Jane-Finch Corridor. Cries from the Corridor, McLaren's book about his teaching experiences, made the Canadian bestseller list and was one of the top ten bestselling books in Canada in 1980 (MacLean's Magazine), initiating a country-wide debate on the status of inner-city schools.

Professor McLaren also worked as a consultant for the National Film Board of Canada and served on the Canadian Cancer Society Educational Subcommittee, 1980-83. While a doctoral candidate, he developed a pilot television program called Kidding Around for Multicultural TV. Professor McLaren earned his doctorate in 1984, and served the following year as Special Lecturer in Education at Brock University where he specialized in teaching language arts in urban schools. Professor McLaren moved to the United States in 1985 to help create The Center for Education and Cultural Studies at Miami University of Ohio where he served as Director and held the title of Renowned Scholar-in-Residence and taught from 1985-1993. Professor McLaren then taught at the University of California, Los Angeles from 1985-2013 as a Professor in the Division of Urban Schooling at the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. Professor McLaren is a dual Canadian-American citizen, having become a US citizen in 2000. Professor McLaren holds Honorary Doctorates from The University of Lapland, Finland, the Universidad del Salvador, Buenos Aires, Argentina and Universidad Nacional de Chilecito, Argentina.

Professor McLaren is the author and editor of nearly 50 books and his writings have been translated into over 25 languages. Five of his books have won the Critic's Choice Award of the American Educational Studies Association. Professor McLaren's book, Life in Schools: An Introduction to Critical Pedagogy in the Foundations of Education (New York: Routledge), has been named one of the 12 most significant writings by foreign authors in the field of educational theory, policy and practice by the Moscow School of Social and Economic Sciences; the list includes Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire and Deschooling Society by Ivan Illich and books by Pierre Bourdieu and Howard Gardner.

The charter for La Fundacion McLaren de Pedagogia Critica was signed at the University of Tijuana in July, 2004 and was later moved to Ensenada, Mexico under the title, Instituto McLaren de Pedagogia Critica y Educacion Popular. Instituto McLaren offers courses, degrees and training in popular education and has been named in Professor McLaren’s honor.

Professor McLaren worked closely with educators in Venezuela to develop programs in critical literacy and critical pedagogy as part of the Bolivarian Revolution initiated by the late President Hugo Chavez.
Professor McLaren is associated with Chapman’s historical commitment to the memory of Paulo Freire, as demonstrated by the university’s Freire archive collection and the only known North American bust of the great Brazilian pedagogical theorist. In 2014, Professor McLaren donated his extensive collection of Latin American revolutionary art to Chapman’s Leatherby Libraries and has also donated his papers and numerous personal artifacts to Chapman’s Paulo Freire Archives. A scholar and activist whose written work and educational activism attempts to reflect the goals and educational practices developed by his mentor, Paulo Freire, Professor McLaren is a frequent international speaker whose work has a global reach.

Professor McLaren is married to Wang Yan (Angie) of Harbin, China. Both Angie and Peter are devoted Chapman Panther football and basketball fans and Peter still roots for his beloved Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. A devout Catholic, Professor McLaren is a member of Holy Family Cathedral in Orange, California. Among his heroes he includes the late Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador, Marxist theorist Raya Dunayevskaya and Brazil’s legendary educator, Paulo Freire.
