Reviews
In this critical moment that calls educators to employ social justice frameworks, cathartic creativity, and center questions of difference, power, and discrimination, Transformative Approaches to Social Justice Education amplifies and addresses critical consciousness, resistance, and resilience. This book calls for the transformation of undergraduate curricula and radical institutional change in the service of a just and equitable future. The candid classroom testimonies in this book emphasize experience as evidence and make clear and compelling connections between theory and praxis, across disciplinary boundaries. The chapters within are offered as an exigent, timely, and generous gift to all educators seeking to strengthen their pedagogical practice and commitments to institutional transformation. - Dr. Mel Michelle Lewis, Associate Professor, Sexuality Studies & Black Studies, Chair, Studio and Humanistic Studies, Co-Director, The Space for Creative Black Imagination, Maryland Institute College of Art The institution of higher education is mired in white supremacy, colonialism, and hetero-patriarchal logics, so that any instructor aspiring to advance social justice must continually commit to learning. This book, which is based on close to 30 years of lessons taken from the Difference, Power, and Discrimination (DPD) Program at Oregon State University, can assist educators in such crucial learning. Each of the book's authors leverages the rich body of existing social justice education and illustrates how they have reimagined, in the context of DPD in concrete and practical terms, teaching and learning to not only be more inclusive, but liberatory. This book is a must-have tool for educators who are ready to do their part in the struggle for social justice. - Dr. Leslie D. Gonzales, Associate Professor and Faculty Advocate, College of Education at Michigan State University
