Toward a Social Justice Pedagogy
|
|
Thursday, February 25, 2016, 06:00 PM - 07:30 PM
Conference Room (2nd Fl), Grad Center, 3615 Locust Walk
What concepts do educators need to teach for and about social justice across a curriculum? What are the ways in which we can complement students grappling with complex social problems without the burdens of traditional academic expectations? Facilitator and PhD candidate in Education Michael Kokozos proposes a theoretical model of social justice pedagogy that draws from feminist, queer, and anti-oppressive pedagogy. The principle aim is to apply thinking that moves a classroom towards action in the real world, away from impugning the self and towards the questioning and challenging of institutional systems.
Michael is a Ph.D. candidate in Education, Culture, & Society at UPenn's Graduate School of Education.
