Stylus Publishing (VA) Promoting Equity and Justice Through Pedagogical Partnership

Higher education faculty and staff face the urgent task of addressing systemic racism and deep inequity within colleges and universities. This book, part of the Series on Engaged Learning and Teaching, introduces pedagogical partnership as a practical method to improve equity, inclusion, and justice in the classroom and throughout curricula. By building these partnerships, educators create meaningful ways for students from underrepresented and equity-seeking groups to work alongside faculty. This collaborative approach allows for the revision and reinvention of assessments, course designs, and teaching methods. Instead of traditional top-down instruction, this model positions equity and justice as central goals of the educational experience. When students have a seat at the table, their voices help reshape the learning environment. This resource provides the framework needed to move toward more inclusive academic practices that value diverse perspectives and aim for systemic change in higher education settings.
