This collection of groundbreaking essays brings together a diverse
group of experts who are researching, theorizing, and enacting
anti-oppressive education in "elite" schooling environments—that
is, schools imbued with wealth and whiteness. This volume explores
how those who are in a position of power can be educated to take
active steps that reduce and disrupt oppression. Each essayist,
writing with practitioners in mind, responds to one of four guiding
questions from their unique point of view as an educator, student,
or researcher: Why does this work matter? What is needed to start
and sustain it? What does it look like in practice? What are the
common pitfalls and how can they be avoided? Readers are encouraged
to mull over various perspectives and experiences to find answers
that fit their own contexts. This important book addresses the need
to educate for social justice within economically privileged
settings where power can be leveraged and repurposed for the
benefit of a diverse society. Book Features: Identifies ethical and
effective pedagogical and curricular approaches to use with
students in "elite" school settings. Examines what it means to work
or learn in "elite" educational spaces for those who hold
nondominant identities. Explores the special obligations and
responsibilities these schools require furthering justice. Looks at
how teachers can navigate the unique challenges that arise, the
conditions needed to support them, and what counts as success for
anti-oppressive education in "elite" schools.
