Reconceptualizing Social Justice in Teacher Education

This edited volume explores and extends themes in contemporary educational research on teacher preparation and the evolution in social justice education to antiracist pedagogy. These times call for teacher education to reconsider how the work devoted to social justice is explicit and intentional about its commitment to a racially just society. What does it mean for teacher education to seize this moment to confront racism and inequities that continue to perpetuate in society and school? The book highlights efforts that are being augmented to prepare teacher candidates and future faculty to address systemic racism in their teaching practices.

Extends the discourse of antiracist practices and pedagogy into teacher education

Traces the historical roots of integrating social justice in teacher education to current efforts

Illustrates ways for educators to ground their trauma informed practices in an equitable and anti oppressive framework
