Social Justice Pedagogy: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Teaching of Psychology

Abstract

Social justice pedagogy in psychology requires keen attention to diversity, equity and inclusion in the content and process of teaching and learning. The contributions to this special issue address both ‘what we teach' and ‘how we teach’ psychology through recommendations for instructor preparation and practices, an expansion of concepts and methods, practical projects and activities, and curricular modifications. Importantly, the contributions raise our consciousness about the harms of oppression and marginalization in the field of psychology and offer us a path toward liberatory pedagogy.
