Beschreibung

Transformative Approaches to Social Justice Education is a book for anyone with an interest in teaching and learning in higher education from a social justice perspective and with a commitment to teaching all students. This text offers a breadth of disciplinary perspectives on how to center difference, power, and systemic oppression in pedagogical practice, arguing that these elements are essential töknowledge formation and to teaching.¿Transformative Approaches to Social Justice Education is structured as an ongoing conversation among educators whöbelieve¿that teaching from a social justice perspective is about much more than the type of readings and assignments found on course syllabi. Drawing on the broadest possible definition of curriculum transformation, the volume demonstrates that social justice education is about¿both¿educators'¿social locations¿and¿about course content. It is also about knowing students and¿teaching beyond the traditional classroom tömeaningfully¿include local communities, social movements, archives, and colleagues in student and academic affairs.¿ Premised on the notion that continuous learning and growth is critical to educators with deep commitments to fostering critical consciousness through their teaching, Transformative Approaches to Social Justice Education offers interdisciplinary and¿innovative¿collaborative approaches to curriculum transformation that build on and extend existing scholarship on social justice education. Newly committed and established social justice pedagogues share their experiences¿taking up the many difficult questions pertaining to what it means for all of us to participate in shaping a more just, shared future.
