His pieces migrate fast, and appear on Huffington Post, Counterpunch, Alternet, and TruthDig—the site associated with Chris Hedges. Many of his articles are reproduced and translated for newspapers and other media sources overseas.
Henry Giroux is Canada's Chomsky—a sought-after voice of conscience who deconstructs official responses to events as they happen. He is an American citizen living in Canada and writes extensively about problems facing the United States and Europe.
The Toronto Star named Henry Giroux “one of the twelve Canadians changing the way we think.”
Giroux is considered one of the founding theorists of critical pedagogy in North America, pushing the frontiers of critical theory and educational practice.
