978-1-7936-1412-4 (ISBN)
Critical Perspectives on Teaching in the Southern United States presents provocative insights into education in the Southern United States, from the perspective of educators. This book foregrounds the Southern United States’ unique sociopolitical, sociohistorical, and sociocultural contexts which directly influence knowledge and classroom pedagogies. Contributors use critical frameworks that coalesce around methods including: self-reflection, social justice, and culturally responsive/relevant/sustaining, and asset-based pedagogies. Chapters explore salient topics such as race, language, gender, discrimination, identity, immigration, poverty, social justice, and their influence(s) on pedagogy. This book raises complex questions considering how history has shaped present-day education in the Southern U.S. context.
