Social justice education (SJE) courses do not simply convey content; they also engage participants in examining social identities, power, privilege, and structural inequalities in our society and in their own lives. Thus, social justice courses are cognitively challenging, emotionally charged, and personally unsettling. They can also be transformative, as participants develop greater personal awareness, expand knowledge that counters dominant narratives, and commit to making changes in themselves and their environments. Given this complexity, social justice educators should be intentional about their curriculum choices and pedagogical approaches if they are to successfully accomplish social justice educational goals. Therefore, thoughtful consideration of the interrelated issues of design and facilitation are essential. |
