The rise of critical discourses in the discipline of geography has
opened up new avenues for social justice. Geography and Social
Justice in the Classroom brings together contemporary research in
geography and fresh thinking about geography's place in the social
studies curriculum. The book's main purposes are to introduce
teachers and teacher educators to new research in geography, and to
provide theoretical and practical examples of geography in the
curriculum. The book begins with the premise that power and
inequality often have spatial landscapes. With the tools and
concepts of geography, students can develop a critical geographic
literacy to explore the spatial expressions of power in their
lives, communities, and the wider world. The first half of the book
introduces new research in the field of geography on diverse topics
including the social construction of maps as instruments of power
and authority. The second half of the book turns the readers'
attention to geography in the P-12 classroom, and it highlights how
geography can enable teachers and students to explore issues of
power and social justice in the classroom. Through critical
geographic literacy, educators can boldly position themselves and
their students as advocates for a more just world.
