How to Incorporate Equity and Justice in Your Teaching (How To Guides)

How to Incorporate Equity and Justice in Your Teaching advocates for radical inclusivity in the contemporary social science classroom. Including a range of adaptable course materials, this forward-thinking book will enable instructors working at a range of levels to integrate equity and social justice into their practice. Editors Don C. Sawyer III, JT Torres and Suzanne S. Hudd encourage instructors to broaden their understanding of the institutional and societal contexts in which their classes are taught, as well as the demographic makeup of their student bodies. The book further suggests flexible frameworks and strategies for effectively engaging in socially just pedagogical activities, where multiple perspectives are empowered and classroom community is forged. It models a reflective, lifelong approach towards equity; one that engenders a temperament that can readily be applied outside of the classroom to facilitate wider social justice initiatives in the workplace and in society at large. A crucial read for academics, scholars and researchers in higher education and teaching methods in the social sciences, this book will also be a blueprint for increasing inclusivity in the classroom, benefitting instructors beginning their diversity equity and inclusivity training, as well as institutional administrators who oversee faculty programming.
