The field of pedagogy for the privileged has two significant applications: pragmatic and political. The first addresses the need for more cohesive and effective models and practices to assist in the transformation of privileged learners. The second speaks to the question about whether it is important to involve privileged allies in the struggle for social justice as well as whether their agency to create change provides a significant contribution to movements for social justice.
Pedagogy for the Privileged
Ann Curry-Stevens
