In this paper, servant leadership and critical pedagogy are amalgamated to explore how aspirations for a greater measure of social justice may be addressed within higher education.

The racism experienced by African Americans in the workplace is a microcosm of the larger society in which dominant ideologies are present and in power. Current events have continued to expose the racialized system of oppression that serves as a silencer, an erasure, and the literal death sentence of African Americans. Human resource development…

This article argues that in pluralistic, secular, democratic schooling we need a concept of critical character education. There are substantial challenges to the theory and practice of character education, which indicates that character education is a "problem" in the philosophical sense. The way forward is to cultivate a critical theory…

In this chapter we provide an overview of campus ecology and ecological systems theory as applied to the study of higher education, most often to research on college students. We describe Bronfenbrenner's developmental ecological model and its application of it to the study of college students. We then discuss affordances and limitations of this…

This is the first systematic qualitative review to examine and organise the current body of research that addresses the practical application of critical pedagogy within Physical Education and Sport for Development.

In contrast to the traditional library instruction aim of finding and evaluating information, critical library pedagogies aim to teach students to analyze and challenge the power structures that determine what kind of information is deemed valuable. STEM librarians have been slower to take up these approaches than our colleagues with other…

Social justice leadership that attends not only to equity for marginalized students but also to critical consciousness for all students has been largely ignored in empirical research of suburban schools. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature regarding transformative social justice leadership and assert the need for further studies,…

Background/Context: Almost 100 years ago, John Dewey advocated for a democratic U.S. educational system, one that echoed the tenets of the U.S. Constitution and achieved an ethical ideal by inviting participation of all students. Yet the U.S. educational system continues to stop short of this goal insofar as students of Color--especially those in…

"Racial literacy" has contributed powerful advances in multiple disciplines about how race and racism are understood. Many education scholars use the concept to refer to antiracist practices and ideologies, a definition that casts some people as either racially literate or illiterate. In this essay the author draws on examples from…

We explore a site of unplanned, informal critical pedagogy and how raising critical consciousness occurs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many students in England were required to pay rent for accommodation they could not occupy, or which offered reduced amenities. These undergraduates, who were largely first years, had yet to meet each other.…

A growing body of scholarship in teacher education details methods for supporting inservice and preservice teachers in developing critical consciousness, particularly White preservice teachers. Less examined is critical consciousness development for Black preservice teachers. This study employs case study methods to examine beliefs and practices…

It is incumbent on sport management…
