Social Justice Education
Book (italiano):
This book addresses the combination of pedagogical, curricular, and institutional commitments necessary to create and sustain diversity on campus. Its premise is that the socially just classroom flourishes in the context of a socially just institution, and it invites faculty and administrators to create such classrooms and institutions.<BR><BR>This book grew out of a project ù involving deans and directors of teaching centers and diversity offices from six institutions ù to instigate discussions among teachers and administrators about implementing socially just practices in their classrooms, departments, and offices. This book presents the theoretical framework used, and many of the successful projects to which it gave rise.<BR><BR>Recognizing that many faculty have little preparation for teaching students whose backgrounds, culture, and educational socialization differ from theirs, the opening foundational section asks teachers to attend closely to their own and their students' relative power and positionality in the classroom, and to the impact of the materials, resources, and pedagogical approaches employed.<BR><BR>This book provides individual faculty, faculty developers, and diversity officers with the concepts, reflective tools, collaborative models, and a wealth of examples, to confidently embark on the path to transforming educational practice.<BR><BR>The editors: Kathleen M. Skubikowski is Director, Center for Teaching, Learning and Research, and Associate Professor of English; Catharine Wright is a Lecturer and Tutor in writing; and Roman Graf is Associate Professor, German Department, and Dean for Institutional Diversity-all at Middlebury College.
