- Summary:
- Holsinger (criminal justice, U. of Missouri, Kansas City) explores the role that teaching and learning in higher education can play in solving problems of social justice by drawing on research and a course she created and taught in criminal justice to undergraduates. She details the teaching practices she used and how she integrated writing skills; data from a survey of colleagues on their teaching techniques to promote learning about justice and social justice and barriers and limitations that exist; the issue of student apathy and engagement; activism approaches; and assessing learning.
