Lorenzo Milani in our times
No full textThis article pays tribute to one of Europe's foremost critical pedagogues, the Tuscan Don Lorenzo Milani, on the ninetieth anniversary of his birth. It highlights the key moments in his life as priest and educator as well as his pedagogical approach directed at challenging the class-conditioned status quo in Italian society and at achieving greater social justice. His was a pedagogy which highlighted the collective dimensions of learning and teaching, pupils being students and educators at the same time, an approach to learning akin to what Paulo Freire would call critical literacy and what contemporary writers would call critical media literacy in the sense of reading and writing the word and the world. His pedagogy entailed a process of reading history against the grain as part of an attempt to generate a culture of non-militarization. All these elements make Don Milani and his student-teachers pedagogues for our times.peer-reviewe
What Catholic educators can learn from the radical Christianity and critical pedagogy of Don Lorenzo Milani
No full textThis paper exposes some of the ideas expressed or associated with the work of don Lorenzo Milani and the School of Barbiana and discusses them in the light of the teachings of the gospels. It draws out the ramifications of these ideas for a critical education in the Christian spirit. The focus throughout is on education for social justice.peer-reviewe

Learning and Social Difference, Challenges for Public Education and Critical pedagogy. Boulder, Colorado: Paradigm, 2006. Chapter 8,This paper discusses the pedagogical challenge of providing an education that stresses the connection between learning and power and the potential, for social solidarity, of a collective approach to learning based on a process of what Freire and other critical pedagogues would call ‘critical literacy.’
The stimulus for such a pedagogical approach to citizenship derives from the legacy of a radical and very controversial Tuscan priest, Don Lorenzo Milani (1923-1967), and the students from an isolated and impoverished farming community in the Mugello region of Tuscany who constituted the School of Barbiana. The pedagogical ideas emanating from Lorenzo Milani and his school of Barbiana remain a source of reference in debates about schooling and social activism in Italy and elsewhere. The key text to emerge from this school, Lettera a Una Professoressa (Letter to a Teacher), was an important source of reference during the turbulent ‘sessantotto’ (1968) period in Italy. The paper provides an analysis of this and other works with whihc Lorenzo Milani was connected.peer-reviewe
Italian signposts for a sociologically and critically engaged pedagogy : Don Lorenzo Milani (1923-1967) and the schools of San Donato and Barbiana revisited
No full textThis paper provides a critical exposition and analysis of the work of an acclaimed Italian educator, Lorenzo Milani, and ideas that emerged from his experiences in two Tuscan localities. His work is well known in Italy and many parts of southern Europe. Despite the translations of his works into English and Spanish, in the early 1970s, and their use in sociology of education classes in the United Kingdom, he seems to have had a very limited impact on the Anglo-North American-dominated critical education field. The paper revisits his ideas, in this 90th anniversary year, indicating their contemporary relevance and the signposts they provide for a critically and sociologically engaged pedagogy.peer-reviewe

Kinetic model for S-TBBS-DPG NR vulcanization: Extrapolation from S-TBBS and S-DPG experimental data
No full textA robust extrapolation model requiring few input parameters to predict the kinetic constants characterizing the curing behavior of NR vulcanized in presence of sulfur and two accelerants (TBSS and DPG) at different concentrations is discussed. The numerical model based on the reproduction of rheometer curves by means of the well-known Han's kinetic model, which describes with kinetic base the most important NR vulcanization phases, namely curing initiation, formation of matured crosslinked polymer and reversion. The derived mathematical model is a closed form exponential function depending on only three kinetic constants. The procedure proposed is a two-step one. In the first step, kinetic constants of NR in the presence of single activators (i.e. either only with S and TBBS or S and DPG) are estimated by means of an interactive trial and error optimization software (GURU) that proceeds in approximating more and more strictly normalized experimental rheometer curves with Han's function. Four different concentrations of S and TBSS (or S and DPG) are assumed as calibration points. In the second step, from the results obtained previously, kinetic constants for NR with any S-TBBS-DPG concentration of technical relevance are deduced by means of standard mathematical extrapolation. The procedure is benchmarked on 16 different S-TBBS-DPG concentrations at two temperatures (150°C and 180°C), for which both experimental data are available and kinetic constants are previously derived with GURU. Quite good agreement is found, meaning that the approach may be useful for practical purposes, because expensive and cumbersome experimental investigations can be avoided
