Henry Giroux, born September 18 1943, is a US cultural critic. He is one of the founding theorists of critical pedagogy in the United States. He is best known for his pionereering work in public pedagogy, cultural studies, youth studies, higher education, media studies, and critical theory.
His work draws from a number of theoretical traditions extending from Marx to Paulo Freire to Zygmunt Bauman. He is also a leading advocate of radical democracy and opposes the anti-democratic tendencies of neoliberalism, militarism, empire, religious fundamentalism, and the ongoing attacks under the neoliberal state on the social wage, youth, the poor, and public and higher education. His most recent work focuses on public pedagogy, the nature of the spectacle and the new media, and the political and educational force of global culture. His writings have won many awards and he writes for a range of public and scholarly sources.
