Summary:

Teaching and Social Justice provides psychologists and educators with a foundation to create their own multicultural feminist pedagogy. The volume challenges them with thought-provoking questions such as: How does one's multicultural or feminist theoretical orientation influence how one teaches social justice? How does this influence the manner in which one teaches about diversity issues? How might one's theoretical position influence the organization and structure of the classroom, the interventions used, or classroom dynamics and learning? How might one's relationship with one's institution be affected? The collective authors of this volume represent diverse social identities related to race, ethnicity, class, religion, sexual orientation, and nationality, which adds to the richness of their perspectives on pedagogy. Psychologists and educators who are interested in a theoretically grounded approach and interdisciplinary integration will find Teaching and Social Justice invaluable.
