This article aims to discuss the thinking of the writer, educator and feminist activist bell hooks in her articulations with the field of education. More specifically, we focus on what we call the intellectual’s ethical-political project for education, with emphasis on the contributions of her thinking and works to the field of Education in Human Rights. The theoretical and conceptual debate was rescued from recent works by the author translated into Portuguese. Bell hooks’ theoretical and conceptual debate is organized as follows in the text:(a) contributions of feminist thought to an anti-racist and anti-sexist education;(b) education as a practice of freedom as a clue to the production of engaged pedagogies in multicultural classrooms; and (c) love as the founding ethos of a democratic community education and as a practice of freedom. The work of bell hooks points to the importance of education as a political act that reveals the ills and obstacles, henceforth the ideology of white supremacy, for a more just and democratic society. Therefore, it makes use of an intersectional analysis and a community practice of care and self-fulfillment in the field of education.
