OverviewSocial Justice Pedagogies provides a diverse and wide perspective into making education more robust and useful in light of global injustices and new challenges posed by new media and communication practices, media manipulation, right-wing populism, climate crisis, and intersectional discriminations. Meant to inspire readers to see learning and teaching from a wider perspective of justice, inclusion, equity, and creativity, it argues that relational and mindful approaches to teaching and learning in specific contexts, settings, and place-based experiences are essential in how we determine the value of education. The book draws on contributions from scholars and experts who incorporate social justice into their teaching practices in different disciplines in universities across Canada, the US, and Europe. Social Justice Pedagogies uniquely presents a wide interdisciplinary perspective on social justice in education practices in order to speak to the ways in which we all want to make our research, our classrooms, and our institutions more just. It argues that pedagogy, and specifically teaching and learning, constitutes a process of building relationships between people and knowledge by fostering a learning community.

Table of ContentsReviews"""Social Justice Pedagogies is an original collection with sound scholarship that will be useful for instructors. This book makes an important contribution to pedagogical thinking and the teaching of social justice at the university level and will also be helpful in community organizing."" - Rosa Bruno-Jofré, FRSC, Faculty of Education cross-appointed to the Department of History, Queen's University ""Social Justice Pedagogies is nothing less than a roadmap for changing the way we teach in post-secondary education. The authors gathered here, from across the humanities and social sciences, reflect in profound ways on how their disciplines might be reimagined as contexts for social change. Brimming with detailed, well-tested examples of transformative pedagogical strategies - for the classroom, field class, and community meeting - this important book should interest any teacher committed to social justice."" - Will Straw, James McGill Professor of Urban Media Studies, McGill University ""This collection of essays exploring teaching and learning that could foster social justice adds important knowledge to an area of research and practice that is underdeveloped. We need more discussions like these in order to facilitate education and classrooms committed to social well-being and cultural and political innovation. Social Justice Pedagogies will be of interest to educators and activists working in and outside formal educational spaces, as well as educators and community workers across disciplines."" - Miglena S.
