Educational curricula at all levels are currently the object of growing scrutiny and public debate, reflecting their centrality in the construction, maintenance, and potential transformation of dominant discourses and structures of oppression. This session offers an opportunity for scholars who are incorporating social justice perspectives in their pedagogy to share their experiences, goals, and challenges. Panelists will share initial reflections, followed by open discussion. Potential topics of discussion include: selection of course materials and strategies for counter-hegemonic pedagogies; contending with 'canonical' texts and thinkers; incorporating teaching and justice-oriented research; responses from students; institutional and disciplinary obstacles; current political climate and anxieties about public backlash.
