E-raamat: How to Incorporate Equity and Justice in Your Teaching

At a time when more attention and care is needed to both attend to the practice of teaching and the students we serve, the scholars in this book have intentionally surfaced the depth of love needed, and the ways in which it can be meaningfully practiced. -- Bryan Dewsbury, Florida International University, US In this seminal book, How to Incorporate Equity and Justice in Your Teaching, each contribution helps us understand that there is no liminal space in education. Either we are working towards emancipation for traditionally marginalized studentsby drawing on their a priori interests and expertiseor we are haphazardly (and detrimentally) foisting our epistemological sensibilities and ways of meaning/understanding on them. There is no middle ground. Each author is challenging us to do better by radically reimagining pedagogy as a tool for liberation and, ultimately, for real justice. Sometimes text books in this vein leave you with more questions than answers. That is not the case with this book as it, seamlessly, interweaves both the theory and the practice (praxis) in justice-centered education, generally, and justice-advancing pedagogy more specifically. Therefore, the most pressing question is this: are you in? Are you ready to reimagine your pedagogy so that it reaches all of the students you serve? Read this book and you will be imminently more prepared to do just that!' -- Jeremiah J. Sims, author of Revolutionary STEM Education: Critical-reality Pedagogy and Social Justice in STEM for Black Males This book is invaluable: it offers comprehensive and novel understandings of how to integrate equity and justice into our learning environments. Featuring contributions from well-respected experts, I highly recommend this book to teachers and scholars who are committed to supporting diverse students. -- Mollie Dollinger, Curtin University, Australia
