A literature review will explore strategies for teaching social justice in conservative academic settings, fostering empathy, equity, and belonging among diverse students' backgrounds and worldviews. Grounded in intersectionality and social work principles, the inquiry will provide evidence-based practices and strategies to prepare educators for respectful dialogue.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
The audience will learn about evidence-based scholarship on teaching and learning social justice through findings from a literature review
Viewers of the poster presentation will learn pedagogical approaches to maintaining safe and brave classrooms in conservative landscapes
Viewers will be asked to engage with the poster's key findings, compare them to their own lived experiences, and discuss ideas of how they, as faculty, have been successful in navigating social justice classroom discussions with conservative world views
