Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies in Mathematics and Technology Education: Research, Practices, and C

McLaren, Peter

<b>What happens in our teaching and learning when we put communities first, when we begin with their concerns and move forward together, in solidarity, to build more just, collective futures together?</b> <p/>This timely book expands our understandings of culturally sustaining pedagogies (CSPs). Written by an international and intergenerational collective of educators, researchers, and community organizers, the book <b>offers needed future directions in the field of CSP</b>. Working in the midst of climate catastrophe, emboldened white supremacy and patriarchy, resurgent fascism and imperialism, and ongoing genocides, authors deepen our understandings of CSPs and consider how to teach for more just futures in classrooms and with communities. <p/>This book <b>builds upon</b> <b>the landmark title <i>Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies</i> by Django Paris and H. Samy Alim </b>to present theoretically grounded examples from across the United States, Europe, and Africa of how educators, researchers, and community organizers can center and sustain communities<br>. It is<b> a powerful example of a global collective working across borders</b> to co-theorize and practice education for justice and liberation. Each example offers locally grounded enactments of CSPs and, just as importantly, highlights how working across nation-state borders is increasingly necessary to sustaining our collective futures. <p/><b>Key Features: </b><br><ul><li><b>Global Perspectives: </b> Provides diverse CSP exemplars from both national and international contexts.</li><li><b>Actionable Lessons: </b> Each chapter contains specific strategies for educators to deepen their collective knowledge and classroom practice.</li><li><b>Social Transformation: </b> Details ways to create learning environments that connect students to their communities and to socially transformative futures.</li><li><b>Research Models: </b> Offers frameworks for building deep, sustaining relationships between researchers, educators, and community organizers.</li><li><b>Intergenerational Expertise: </b> Features leading scholars engaging in critical conversations across the U.S., Europe, and Africa.</li></ul><br>Chapter contributors include: Susi Álvarez Mariño, Drako Amgod, Ofelia Bello, Stefan Benting, Nathan Booysen, Andre Bozack, Julisa Carriel, Anthony Craig, Chelsea Craig, Alayna Eagle Shield, Michael Harram, Tanswell Jansen, Doua Kha, Jazmen Moore, Sciatta Padmore, Alejandra Pérez, Andy Robinson, Julian Sierra, Shaquile Southgate, Cristal Montes, Emile YX?, and Fili Zaragoza.

<p>The <i>Handbook of Cultural Studies in Education</i> brings together interdisciplinary voices to ask critical questions about the meanings of diverse forms of cultural studies and the ways in which it can enrich both education scholarship and practice. Examining multiple forms, mechanisms, and actors of resistance in cultural studies, it seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice by examining the theme of resistance in multiple fields and contested spaces from a holistic multi-dimensional perspective converging insights from leading scholars, practitioners, and community activists. Particular focus is paid to the practical role and impact of these converging fields in challenging, rupturing, subverting, and changing the dominant socio-economic, political, and cultural forces that work to maintain injustice and inequity in various educational contexts. With contributions from international scholars, this handbook serves as a key transdisciplinary resource for scholars and students interested in how and in what forms Cultural Studies can be applied to education.</p>
