Product Description
The authors address a multitude of social concerns, contributing to scholarship on race, gender, class, sexual orientation and a host of current issues. These multiple themes are united under the theorization of education reform for a cohesive but textured look at classrooms today. This volume is unique in its prescriptive nature. The authors offer concrete methods for acknowledging and mobilizing diverse social identities in the classroom. The authors propose approaches that will democratize the classroom, a 'realist' response to more traditional forms of pedagogy that marginalize and silence diverse studentsThis volume explores the impact of social identity on teaching and learning. The contributors argue, from the perspective of diverse disciplinary and educational contexts, that mobilizing identities in the classroom is a necessary part of progressive educators' efforts to transform knowledge-making and to create a more just and democratic society.
