ABOUT THE BOOK: Promoting Inclusion and Justice in University Teaching offers a theoretical and practical contribution to ongoing debates concerning why and how we need to expand the goals of education in an increasingly diverse academia to enhance inclusivity and equity. It integrates a wide range of well-designed teaching activities grounded in the principles of transformative pedagogy into university settings to connect in-class teaching to social justice demands.
READ THE ENDORSEMENTS
Critical acclaim:
‘Cappiali and Jean-Pierre’s book recognizes the limitations of empowerment-oriented pedagogies that are not applied to the task of social transformation and the disruption of oppression. Through a provocative blend of theory and practice, the authors call for a self-reflective approach to ensure co-learning, re-learning and re-imagining higher education instruction.’
– Felisa Tibbitts, UNESCO Chair in Human Rights and Higher Education, Utrecht University, the Netherlands
‘This book skillfully bridges the gap between transformative pedagogy theory and actionable classroom practices, offering educators in higher education a unique and invaluable toolkit for creating empowering learning environments. Through its innovative approach and strong connections between theory and praxis, it offers a new standard in the field, ensuring classrooms are both inclusive and transformative.’
– Edward W. Taylor, Penn State University, US
‘Paulo Freire has helped us develop a Freirean lens in the same way that we talk about Foucaultian, Derridian and Gramscian lenses. This has been applied to museums, literature, visual art and other areas where social justice and inclusion are at stake. This book and a few others show that the Freirean lens includes a vision of higher education geared towards social justice and which involves emancipatory critical enquiry.’
– Peter Mayo, University of Malta and Author of Higher Education in a Globalising World. Community Engagement and Lifelong Learning
