Teaching for Democracy in an Age of Economic Disparity addresses
the intersections between democratic education and economic
inequality in American society. Drawing upon well-established
theoretical constructs in the literature on democratic citizenship
as well as recent events, this volume outlines the ways in which
students can not only be educated about democracy, but become
actively engaged in the social issues of their time. The collection
begins with an examination of how the confluence of capitalism and
education have problematized the current model of democratic
education, before transitioning into discussions of how teachers
can confront economic disparity both economically and civically in
the classroom. The authors then introduce a variety of ways in
which teachers can engage and empower students' civic action at all
grade levels. As a final component, the volume explores new avenues
for civic action, including the use of social media for democratic
engagement in schools and opportunities for critical reflection and
cross-cultural dialogue. This book is a valuable resource for both
scholars interested in the research on democratic education and
practicing teachers wishing to turn their students into critical,
active citizens.
