Patrick Sullivan: Democracy, Social Justice, and the American Community College, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book provides scholars, educators, and legislators with a personal, classroom-level tour of daily life at a community college. Readers will accompany the author into the classroom as he goes about his work as an English teacher meeting with classes and corresponding with students on Blackboard and e-mail. Answering the call for ¿student-centered scholarship,¿ this book blends traditional academic writing with chapters that feature a rich variety of student work, including essays, journal entries, poems, art, and responses to creative assignments. In this volume, Sullivan theorizes the modern community college as a social justice institution. By mission and mandate, the modern community college has democratized Americäs system of higher education and distributed hope, equity, and opportunity more broadly across the nation.
