Description
In this collection of 17 essays, academics and practitioners give theories and practices of social justice education, complete with lessons in the text and handouts on the accompanying CD-ROM. Fully updated to reflect current thinking, this covers the theoretical foundations, including ways to use them design and to facilitate social justice education courses and "conversations" about being social justice educators and knowing the needs of students. The rest of the text is comprised of curriculum designs for twenty-first century racism, white privilege and globalism; sexism, heterosexism, and transgender oppression; and religious oppression, classism, ableism and ageism.
