A professor in the Graducate School of Education and Information Studies at UCLA, McClaren will speak with Cindy Sheehan one day and then hop on a flight to Saint Louis to talk about the limits of democracy in promoting his idea of social justice. His homepage reads, “The critical pedagogy which I support and practice advocates non-violent dissent, the development of a philosophy of praxis guided by a Marxist humanism, the study of revolutionary social movements and thought, and the struggle for socialist democracy.” In short, my mission as an “academic” is to push for Socialism.
