Description
Stephanie Vandrick's Interrogating Privilege explores how individuals bring their own privilege to the classroom in second language education. By examining topics such as gender, age, and colonialism, this book seeks to understand the experiences of teachers, scholars, and students as "whole persons" and observe the workings of identity and privilege in educational settings. Through a combination of personal essays and academic research, Vandrick blends theory, analysis, and narrative to shed light on the function and consequences of privilege. The result is a nuanced exploration of the complexities of second language teaching and learning. This book offers a valuable perspective on the role of privilege in education, one that acknowledges the diversity of individuals involved in the classroom and seeks to promote greater understanding and awareness.
