Beyond Equity at Community Colleges: Bringing Theory into Practice for Justice and Liberation

Editat de Sobia Azhar Khan, Kendra Unruh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iun 2022
This volume proposes that the work of community colleges has expanded beyond equity into providing a true barrier-free learning environment for students, one that is attuned to justice. The essays included here serve as evidence and examples of the productive ways in which educators may bring theory and practice to bear on each other, which in turn may allow community college faculty, staff, and administrators to reexamine the role of a community college as a space for justice. Topics explored with this volume include liberatory educational practices in and out of the classroom, transforming classrooms into the site of collaboration and contestation, and unique visions of how to promote opportunity for marginalized students. Ultimately, the goal of this edited volume is to explore and encourage community college educators to understand the integral role they play in bringing transformative justice to their students and their communities.

Recenzii

In "Beyond Equity" Sobia Khan, Kendra Unruh, and contributors offer a rich set of practical examples and actionable insights for implementing "equity-focused" and "justice-centered" practices at community colleges. Readers will learn how community college educators across the country are cultivating liberatory spaces across campus— from antiracist instruction to trauma-informed writing centers, participatory action research, community choirs, among many other examples. With a summary of key "equity practices" concluding each chapter, "Beyond Equity" will be a valued handbook on the shelf of any community college educator working toward equity and justice.

-John Fink, Senior Research Associate, Community College Research Center, Teachers College - Columbia University
This book reminds us that as educators, we can’t be neutral on equity. We must decide what we will do to expand our knowledge and implement actions that will support the success of students. The practical strategies outlined in the book answer the how question that so many educators ask. This is a must read for any educator who says equity and justice matter.
-Tia Brown McNair, Ed.D. Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Student Success and Executive Director for TRHT Campus Centers
