Pedagogies of Post-Truth explores the national and international
political developments in what has been called a post-truth
society; specifically, in which conservative groups target media
outlets claiming fabrication of news and that the veracity of
evidence-based reporting should be questioned. Truth has been
reduced to the validation of opinions instead of the presentation
of scientific facts. This collection responds to these issues by
initiating a scholarly dialogue about teaching in the era of
post-truth in which research-based findings that do not align with
political viewpoints are judged, criticized, and often described as
"fake." Contributors evaluate the pedagogical challenges of
post-truth discourse and how post-truth messages negatively affect
instructors and students. By highlighting ways instructors and
students can resist the hegemony of post-truth, this book creates a
dialogue among scholars, illustrates the challenges, and offers
pedagogical techniques to discuss "post-truth," the role of the
educator, the role of media, and the role of other story-makers of
our society.
Mediated Critical Communication Pedagogy explores the role of both
traditional and new media in critical communication pedagogy. This
edited volume addresses not only how new and other forms of media
serve as tools towards social justice in the communication
classroom, but also how those media transform the classroom
interaction itself in empowering and disempowering ways.
Contributors describe and assess how particular instances of media
use—particularly the use of new media technologies—support or
challenge critical communication pedagogy. Each chapter engages in
critical analysis of how to effectively use particular mediums in
the classroom, how classroom communication is affected by uses of
new media, and particular instances of critical communication
pedagogy in teaching. Scholars of communication and education will
find this book particularly useful.
In Grading Justice: Teacher-Activist Approaches to Assessment, new
and seasoned teachers explore socially-just approaches of
assessment, including practices aimed at resisting and undoing
grading and assessment altogether, to create more democratic
grading policies and practices, foregrounding the transformative
potential of communication within college courses. The
contributions in this collection invite readers to consider not
only how educators might assess social justice work in and beyond
the classroom, but also to imagine what a social justice approach
to grading and assessment would mean for intervening into
potentially unjust modes of teaching and learning by creating more
just practices and policies. Scholars of pedagogy, Social Activism,
and communications will find this book particularly interesting.
