Locking up Our Own by James Forman
Call Number: HV9950 .F655 2017

Publication Date: 2017-04-18
In Locking Up Our Own, the Yale legal scholar and former public defender James Forman Jr. weighs the tragic role that some African Americans themselves played in escalating the war on crime. Drawing on his experience as a public defender and focusing on Washington, D.C., Forman writes with compassion for individuals trapped in terrible dilemmas-from the young men and women he defended to officials struggling to cope with an impossible situation. The result is an original view of our justice system as well as a moving portrait of the human beings caught in its coils.

Educating for Equity and Social Justice: a Conceptual Model for Cultural Engagement
This article presents an alternative approach to using service-learning courses to help students develop cultural competence. Service learning often comes from a deficit model that views the providers of a service as advantaged and the recipients as disadvantaged. The Conceptual Model for Cultural Engagement (CMCE) recognizes that those many deem as the disadvantaged have assets to share. The CMCE develops long-term, asset-based, reciprocal relationships between faculty members, community partners, and higher education students. The goal is to develop culturally effective members of our society who are educated to interact effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Implicit Bias and Philosophy by Michael Brownstein (Editor); Jennifer Saul (Editor)
ISBN: 9780198766179
Publication Date: 2016-05-31
There is abundant evidence that most people, often in spite of their conscious beliefs, values and attitudes, have implicit biases. These evaluations are typically thought to involve associations between social groups and concepts or roles like 'violent,' 'lazy,' 'nurturing,' 'assertive,' 'scientist,' and so on Implicit Bias and Philosophy brings the work of leading philosophers and psychologists together to explore core areas of psychological research on implicit (or unconscious) bias, as well as the ramifications of implicit bias for core areas of philosophy.
Implicit Racial Bias Across the Law by Justin D. Levinson (Editor); Robert J. Smith (Editor)
ISBN: 9781107010956
Publication Date: 2012-04-23
Despite cultural progress in reducing overt acts of racism, stark racial disparities continue to define American life. This book is for anyone who wonders why race still matters and is interested in what emerging social science can contribute to the discussion. The book explores how scientific evidence on the human mind might help to explain why racial equality is so elusive. Implicit Racial Bias across the Law examines both the continued subordination of historically disadvantaged groups and the legal system's complicity in the subordination.
Equity and Quality Dimensions in Educational Effectiveness by Leonidas Kyriakides; Bert Creemers; Evi Charalambous
ISBN: 9783319720647
Publication Date: 2018-01-12

Discrimination and Disrespect by Benjamin Eidelson
ISBN: 9780198732877
Publication Date: 2016-01-12
Hardly anyone disputes that discrimination can be a grave moral wrong. Yet this consensus masks fundamental disagreements about what makes something discrimination, as well as precisely why (and hence when) acts of discrimination are wrong. Focusing on the distinct requirements of respect for the equality and autonomy of persons in turn, Eidelson explains why we condemn some cases of discrimination as strongly as we do and offers principles to guide our thinking where we are less certain.

Publication Date: 2002-08-01

Only in New Orleans by Luis Mirón (Volume Editor); Brian R. Beabout (Volume Editor); Joseph L. Boselovic (Editor); Joseph L. Boselovic (Volume Editor)
ISBN: 9789463001007

Critical Perspectives on Black Education by Noelle Witherspoon Arnold
ISBN: 9781623967475
Publication Date: 2014-12-01
While the nation engages in debates concerning central issues of religion and religious diversity in education, the historic saliency of religion and spirituality in the Black community and in the education of its children continues to be largely ignored. Historically, religion and spirituality were foundational to the development and understanding of social justice issues, including, but not limited to, issues of protest, community up-lift, notions of care, and anti-oppression. Taking into account the historical significance of religion and spirituality in the Black community, it is essential for education scholars to cultivate these long-standing connections as a means for advancing contemporary struggles for social justice, religiosity in education, and counter-hegemonic praxis.
Brown V. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Movement by Michael J. Klarman

Board of Education--making the path-breaking arguments of his original work accessible to a broader audience of general readers and students.

ISBN: 9780774813259
Publication Date: 2007-04-09
Multicultural Education Policies in Canada and the United States uses a dialogical approach to examine responses to increasing cultural and racial diversity in both countries.

Culturally Responsive Pedagogy by Fatima Pirbhai-Illich (Editor); Shauneen Pete (Editor); Fran Martin (Editor)
ISBN: 9783319463278
Publication Date: 2017-03-10
This book convincingly argues that effective culturally responsive pedagogies require teachers to firstly undertake a critical deconstruction of Self in relation to and with the Other; and secondly, to take into account how power affects the socio-political, cultural and historical contexts in which the education relation takes place. In this venture, the ideal education process is seen to be inherently critical and intercultural, where mainstream and marginalized, colonized and colonizer, indigenous and settler communities work together to decolonize selves, teacher-student relationships, pedagogies, the curriculum and the education system itself.
Culturally Relevant Pedagogy by Lisa Scherff (Editor); Aaron Kuntz et al.(Contribution by)
ISBN: 9781607094197

Each of the authors speaks to the complexity and difficulty in attempting to address students' cultures, create learning experiences with relevance to their lives and experiences, and enact pedagogies that promote academic achievement while honoring students.
