Opis

Although scholarly awareness of privilege has increased in recent decades, an emphasis on the pedagogy of privilege is still dominant within institutions. This edited collection explores best practices for effective teaching and learning about various forms of systemic group privilege, and looks at all aspects of assent, including that based on race, gender and class. Formatted in three easy-to-follow sections, "Deconstructing Privilege" charts the history of privilege and looks at intersectional approaches to the topic.

Drawing on a wealth of research and real-life accounts, this book gives educators both the theoretical foundations they need to address issues of privilege in the classroom and practical ways to forge new paths for progressive dialog in an educational setting. Combining contributions from leading experts in the field -- such as Tim Wise and Abby Ferber -- with pedagogical strategies and tips for teaching privilege, "Deconstructing Privilege" is an essential book for any educator who wants to address what privilege "really" means in their classroom.
