Rebel without a Pause: An Interview with Henry Giroux

Henry Giroux discusses his recent move to Canada and the role of intellectuals in a democratic society. Giroux express deep concern for his colleagues in America, especially considering the recent reelection of George W. Bush and the growing attack on academia. Despite this, Giroux sees an opportunity for movements of opposition and social reform. Henry A. Giroux, a leading figure in the fields of critical pedagogy and cultural studies, recently came to McMaster University in Canada from Penn State University, where he taught for more than a decade. He is the author of more than 30 books and 250 journal articles. Sina Rahmani spoke to him in his Togo Salmon Hall office.
