    This essential resource helps educators tackle the most common and challenging dilemmas that arise in today amp rsquo s classroom-such as diversity, privilege, and intersectionality. 

    This book examines common challenges that arise for educators teaching social justice and diversity-related courses and offers best practices for addressing them. Contributors cover issues such as the many roles instructors play, inside and outside of college and university classrooms, for example, in handling personal threats, responsibly incorporating current events related to social justice into classroom discussion, navigating one's own stigmatized or privileged identities, dealing with bias in teaching evaluations, and engaging in self-care.

    The authors' backgrounds offer unique perspectives from which to approach such complex subject matter several contributors are feminist or intersectional scholars with the experience and expertise to address the pedagogical dilemmas that often arise in teaching social justice. Many of the issues discussed arise from the authors' own experiences as teachers in the current social climate however, they also are verified by research on quality teaching in general and teaching about diversity specifically.
