This book grew out of a project involving deans and directors of teaching centers and diversity offices from six institutions to instigate discussions among teachers and administrators about implementing socially just practices in their classrooms, departments, and offices. This book presents the theoretical framework used, and many of the successful projects to which it gave rise. The book discusses social justice education, political activism, contemplative traditions and system analysis. It demonstrates how theoretically, disciplinary and individual classroom praxis, intra and inter-institutional collaborations can challenge and change liberal arts colleges whose mission statements increasingly call for diversity. It offers learning environments that are active and engaged, open to controversy and safe for disagreement.
