Perspectives in Education: Rethinking citizenship and social justice in education: Special Issue, 30(4), 76-87.0258-2236 (print)2519-593X (online)http://hdl.handle.net/11660/3705In this article, the authors situate and make an argument for a humanising pedagogy in response to the legacy of a dehumanising past in South Africa. They describe the inquiry into a humanising pedagogy by means of mining stories of living and learning in South Africa. The authors explain how the meanings and praxis of a humanising pedagogy unfold as the story of the work unfolds. One result of the work has been a working collection of “Statements of awareness” that are authentic and significant, though still evolving, which frame a humanising pedagogy.enHumanising pedagogyHumanising praxisNarrative inquiryLiberatory educationEmancipatory methodologyArticle
