Matthew McCorquodale-Bauer

Matthew McCorquodale-Bauer is a public high school humanities educator and master’s student at the University of Manitoba, currently teaching in an alternative public high school. His master’s thesis examines how Canadian media represents the ‘parental rights’ movement, considering how its rhetoric individualizes education, marginalizes gender-diverse identities, and undermines public schooling. As a white, cisgender man, he acknowledges his position within systems of power and privilege and approaches his work through critical pedagogy and reflexive practice, believing education should be a dialogical process that fosters criticality and challenges dominant power structures.
