teaching about social justice and power
Definition
- Social justice education reveals the power dynamics at work in the world that are often undisclosed in traditional education. A social justice teacher encourages students to question, for example, the ethics of particular scientific studies, the stories behind crime statistics, the impact of gentrification, the role of corporations in determining the food choices in their cafeteria, and the testing and tracking practices of their school.
