In this long-needed book, Roger Bergman begins to correct that gross imbalance. He asks: How do we educate (\"lead out\") the faith that does justice? How is commitment to social justice provoked and sustained over a lifetime? To address these questions, Bergman weaves what he has learned from thirty years as a faith-that-does-justice educator with the best of current scholarship and historical authorities. He reflects on personal experience; the experience of Church leaders, lay activists, and university students; and the few words the tradition itself has to say about a pedagogy for justice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCatholic Social Learning\u003c\/i\u003e explores the foundations of this pedagogy, demonstrates its practical applications, and illuminates why and how it is fundamental to Catholic higher education. Part I identifies personal encounters with the poor and marginalized as key to stimulating a hunger and thirst for justice. Part II presents three applications of Catholic social learning: cross-cultural immersion as illustrated by Creighton University's Semestre Dominicano program; community-based service learning; and the teaching of moral exemplars such as Dorothy Day, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and Archbishop Oscar Romero. Part III then elucidates how a pedagogy for justice applies to the traditional liberal educational mission of the Catholic university, and how it can be put into action.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCatholic Social Learning \u003c\/i\u003eis both a valuable, practical resource for Christian educators and an important step forward in the development of a transformative pedagogy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580248125720,"sku":"9780823233298","price":23.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/catholic-social-learning-educating-the-faith-that-does-justice-paperback-softback-9780823233298","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
