Social Justice

Children at an early age have a predisposition regarding gender and race. Biases are projected early in life and based on social-cultural interactions. We must start early in creating spaces for children to develop self-identity, self-awareness, and respect for themselves and other ethnic groups- to build a better society built upon respect and understanding.

Social Justice: Disrupting the Pipeline explores the efforts of child development and teacher education students' attempt to reduce the "Cradle-School-to-Slavery Pipeline" (wrongfully pushing students out of school into prison) in PreK-16 learning environments. This book will share teachers' and students' perspectives on social justice in education, personal success stories of resilience and overcoming barriers in the education system, and strategies for succeeding despite systemic oppression.

In this book, you will learn:

How social justice-centered approaches can yield impactful results; The outcomes of incorporating social justice in higher education programs; and What equity and equality look like in a learning community.
