Description
Hardcover - 272 pages (2013) Advancing Social Justice: Tools, Pedagogies, and Strategies to Transform Your Campus offers a clear understanding of social justice and effective practices for higher education institutions. Tracy Davis and Laura M. Harrison provide a rigorous conceptual framework to help educators re-engage with their work on social justice. The book clarifies the definition of social justice as an approach that examines and acknowledges the impact of institutional and historical systems of power and privilege on individual identity and relationships. The authors explore ways that oppression and privilege are manifest in the lived experiences of students, highlighting important concepts to consider in designing and implementing effective social justice interventions. They also provide examples of effective social justice education, helping educators to rethink their approach and make transformative change for social justice on campus.
