Educating for Social Justice: Transformative Experiential Learning

By Julie Birkenmaier, Ashley Cruce, Jan Wilson

According to the NASW Code of Ethics, "social workers should challenge social injustice." Educating for Social Justice approaches this tenet head-on, defining it and offering numerous strategies to prompt student reflection and awareness of social justice in their own practice. Educating for Social Justice is a vital resource for instructors and practitioners alike as they work to better incorporate key values of social work into practice. The editors include an overview of social justice theories, practitioner-tested national and international ideas about incorporating social justice into educational experiences within and outside of the classroom, and offer "how-to" guides for instructors to replicate and build on the ideas presented.
