Описание: Brenda Leibowitz issues a call for pedagogic justice in higher education and offers a conceptual model depicting the relationships between social, cognitive and pedagogic justice. Cognitive justice intersects with several important concepts in the literature on knowledge: decolonisation, decoloniality, Africanisation and indigenous knowledges. Leibowitz argues that these intersecting concepts do not take into sufficient account how the various forms of difference that exist in society influence learning. These differences include race, gender, social class, access to formal schooling and age. Nor, she asserts, does this literature consider sufficiently how people learn when the languages or discourses in which academic concepts are formulated are familiar or foreign. Pedagogic Justice in Higher Education traces the impact of social injustice and cognitive injustice in higher education. It provides a comprehensive treatment of approaches towards cognitive justice and considers the challenges and opportunities these pose for higher education and the global South. With regard to pedagogic justice, Leibowitz emphasises the significance of purpose for learning and the orientation of the learner towards knowledge within a broader frame of practice theory. She considers the role and attributes of the teaching academic, where reflexivity and engagement in a participatory form of the scholarship of teaching and learning are useful. The book raises important questions such as: given the significance of context and difference, is there one approach to pedagogic justice that can be adopted in diverse societies? How do we generate dialogue between the ‘scientific’ or western accounts of learning on the one hand and local, craft and indigenous accounts on the other?

Описание: Together we can build enough momentum to see Jim Crow lying silent and still in his grave.
This book shouts out ways that we can and must respond to the sickening accumulation of racially inspired and systemically sanctioned deaths. Today, we remember the passing of young, Black Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. In responding to this event, we are determined to dismantle the alexithymia (indifference to the suffering of others) that pervades our campuses. It is nothing less than a by-product of racism protected by the illusion of democracy.
RIP Jim Crow contains three sections: (1) Antiracist Theory and Policy; (2) Antiracist Administration, Curriculum, and Pedagogy; and (3) Antiracist Cultural Interventions.
Each of the 31 chapters contributes to the normalization of anti-racist policy within academic institutions, antiracist discourse within academic cultures, and institutional praxis that upholds speaking out against racist activity. The hope is that this book will also reduce racism in the broader world through academic relationships with community partners.
