Summary
In this episode of Pop Pedagogy, Nichole and Melissa delve into the 1971 Mexican classic El Profe starring Cantinflas. They explore the film's portrayal of Socrates, a passionate and unorthodox teacher sent to a small rural village where his commitment to education clashes with local power dynamics. Nichole and Melissa reflect on the movie's themes of education as liberation, the challenges of teaching in underserved communities, and the subtle yet prominent displays of sexism throughout the film. With humorous anecdotes, including Melissa's personal connection to Cantinflas through her grandmother, the duo discuss the lasting impact of Socrates' approach to teaching. Tune in for insightful analysis, nostalgic reflections, and a comparison to modern educational practices.
