Recenzje

“This work provides an essential contribution on how to design, facilitate, and assess social justice education workshops. It is a timely and practical addition to the literature for educators seeking to develop workshop and structured conversations related to power, privilege, and social identity. The authors’ emphasis on theoretical grounding, facilitation as a process, and self-reflection will help provide current and aspiring social justice educators with a structure they can utilize across a variety of co-curricular contexts.”
