Critical pedagogy focuses on understanding and disrupting power imbalances in education, especially related to issues of race and class. It draws from critical social theory and aims to provide a liberating education that allows students to question relationships of power and oppression in society. Key principles include examining class struggle and cultural capital, reading social justice issues in the world rather than just texts, and naming processes that promote hegemony. Teachers identify generative themes raised by students to guide classroom investigation.

Chapter Outline
9.1 What Is Diversity, and Why Is Everybody Talking About It?
9.2 Categories of Diversity
9.3 Navigating the Diversity Landscape
9.4 Inclusivity and Civility: What Role Can I Play?
Introduction
Student Survey
How do you feel about diversity, equity, and inclusion? These questions will help you determine how the
chapter concepts relate to you right now. As you are introduced to new concepts and practices, it can be
informative to reflect on how your understanding changes over time. We’ll revisit these questions at the end
of the chapter to see whether your feelings have changed. Take this quick survey to figure it out, ranking
questions on a scale of 1–4, 1 meaning “least like me” and 4 meaning “most like me.”
1. I'm aware of the different categories of diversity and the various populations I may encounter.
2. I think we sometimes go too far in trying to be sensitive to different groups.
3. I think nearly everybody in our society has equal opportunity.
4. It’s not my role to ensure equity and inclusiveness among my peers or colleagues.

About This Chapter
In this chapter you will learn about diversity and how it plays a role in personal, civic, academic, and
professional aspects of our lives. By the end of the chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Articulate how diverse voices have been historically ignored or minimized in American civic life, education,
and culture.
• Describe categories of identity and experience that contribute to diverse points of view.
• Acknowledge implicit bias and recognize privilege.
• Evaluate statements and situations based on their inclusion of diverse perspectives.
9.1 What Is Diversity, and Why Is Everybody Talking About It?
Estimated completion time: 34 minutes.
Questions to Consider:
• Historically, has diversity always been a concern?
• What does it mean to be civil?
• Why do people argue about diversity?
“For the vast majority of my life, I thought being an Asian-American—who went through the Palo Alto
School District—meant that I was supposed to excel in academics. But, in reality, I did the opposite. I
struggled through college, both in classes and in seeking experiences for my future. At first, I thought I
was unique in not living up to expectations. But as I met more people from all different backgrounds, I
realized my challenges were not unique.
“I began capturing videos of students sharing their educational issues. Like me, many of my peers lack
the study skills required to achieve our academic goals. The more I researched and developed videos
documenting this lack of skill, the more I realized that student identities are often lost as they learn

As a member of NCTE’s Standing Committee on Global Citizenship, I am concerned
with the legacy of pervasive and lasting pain and inequity left by colonization: across
the globe, within the US, within schools, and in my own classroom.
Colonization’s legacy is about power: who has it, and who is denied it? Power has to do
with material existence and lived experience: access to and use of resources (money,
housing, transportation, energy, healthy food, clean water), knowledge, influence, self-
determination and economic potential and clout.
The classroom is a political space: power is exerted, resisted and yielded to in every
classroom; every classroom is situated within an institution, state, and nation—all
locations in which resources, knowledge, and access must be negotiated. Justin Simien,
director of Dear White People, reminds us that “[r]acism is systemic: It’s oppression
that’s built into the laws, legislation, into the way neighborhoods are policed, and into
job opportunities and health care and education” (emphasis added).
Thus, those interested in decolonizing the classroom must take a first, crucial step: a
personal commitment to political change. To deny the racial nature of politics (and
power)—both inside of and surrounding the classroom—i.

Many consider citizenship education to be of vital importance for democratic societies because it teaches young people about the values, skills, rights, and responsibilities associated with democratic citizenship. Yet the actual teaching of citizenship is often a contested and complicated process. This talk will focus on the role of teachers, who often interpret and reinterpret citizenship curricula in their classrooms.
Some of the questions that will be explored are: How do teachers' everyday lives and their social memory influence how and what they teach in the classroom? How can teachers reconcile the possible contradictions between 'real life' and what they teach in citizenship class? What are the implications of the role of teachers in post-conflict and divided societies?

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

• Major Focus:
Understanding and disrupting power imbalances that are
present in educational settings especially connected to issues
of race and class
• Etymology:
Critical Social Theory, Frankfurt School of Thought, Michel
Foucault, Marxism, Critical Race Theory
• Major Contributors:
W.E.B. DuBois, Carter Woodson, Paulo Freire, bell hooks,
Henry Giroux, Joe Kincheloe, Peter McLaren, Antonia Darder
3. Major Critical Critiques of
Education
Critical Theory
★ Power is concentrated in the production
of knowledge
★ Content areas seen as disconnected from
power and as a result are viewed as
neutral.
★ Subject areas perpetuate hegemony of
socioeconomic classes and race
4. 3 Types of Curricula
• Mainstream Curriculum - Curriculum that is
explicit
• Hidden Curriculum - Messages that are implicit
• Null Curriculum - Messages that are silenced,
omitted, or just simply not included. These also
are critical views of the mainstream and hidden
curricula
5. 3 Types of Curricula
• Mainstream Curriculum - Columbus was a strong, brave
“explorer” that opened the doors for European
colonization of the Americas.
• Hidden Curriculum - Europeans are more advanced and
sophisticated than the indigenous peoples of the Americas.
Eurocentrism, patriarchy, technology over nature.
• Null Curriculum - Columbus violently exploited and
dominated the indigenous peoples of the Americas, which
was part of a larger European mindset that allowed for
genocide, enslavement, assimilation, colonization and in
contemporary settings, globalization (or global
Westernization).

8. Critical Pedagogy:
Major Principles
• Liberatory Education:
An educational experience that allows for students
to question power and power/knowledge
relationships in society.
• What is a power/knowledge relationship?
9. Liberatory Education
• Identifying potential concepts that have embedded relationships of
oppression, cultural colonization, or any form of social injustice.
• Questioning scientific method
• Questioning historical “facts”
• Using math as a tool for community investigation
• Questioning “profit”
• Questioning language
• Questioning public health policies
• Investigating poverty in our own community and globally
10. Critical Pedagogy:
Major Principles
• Class Struggle:
The primary mode of analysis comes from looking
at how socioeconomics limits people’s power. Jean
Anyon’s study of how knowledge is treated
differently based on the class of the students.
11. Class Struggle in
Educational Contexts
• Jean Anyon’s (1981) study of how knowledge is
treated differently based on the class of the
students.
• How is knowledge treated in the professional/elite
schools? Middle class schools? Working class
power schools?
• How is knowledge treated in “honors” tracks?
“Academic” or lower tracks?
12. Critical Pedagogy:
Major Principles
• Cultural Capital:
Those knowledges that are valued by the dominant
elites
13. Cultural Capital
• Knowing which fork to use.
• Knowing how to play golf or sail.
• Knowing what car to buy.
• Knowing where to go on vacation that avoids the middle
class people.
• Knowing which private school to send your children.
• Not saying “aks” in a job interview setting.
• Not having an “accent.”
14. Critical Pedagogy:
Major Principles
• Reading the World vs. Reading the Word:
Understanding and investigating social justice issues vs.
having technical decontextualized knowledge
15. Reading the World
• Excavating political meanings and cultural
capital in texts
• Investigating ecological conditions in one’s
community
• Incorporating the voices of subordinated
groups as forms of analysis
16. Critical Pedagogy:
Major Principles
• Naming:
Exposing and identifying those social processes that
promote hegemony and social injustice
17. Naming ☛ Hegemony
• “The people participate in their own domination.”
• Hegemony is the perpetuation of social injustices
(i.e. classism, racism, sexism, heterosexism).
• Hegemony allows for the powerful elites to retain
their power while non-violently controlling the less
powerful groups.
• Hegemony is perpetuated through social consensus,
social forms, and social structures including schools,
church, media, political system, and family.
18. Naming ☛ Forms of Hegemony
• Legitimization: Domination is seen as “just” or “fair”
• Example: Ranking schools in newspapers is fair.
• Reification: Domination is seen as “normal” and
“natural.” They are also seen as “always having been this
way.”
• Example: Meritocracy is normal and natural.
19. Naming ☛ Forms of Hegemony
• Fragmentation: Subordinated groups are divided and
turned against one another.
• Example: Latin Kings, Los Solidos, 20 Luv -- Gangs in
Hartford
• Dissimulation: Domination is concealed.
• Example: Predatory lending practices by commercial
banks and mortgage lenders.
20. Critical Pedagogy:
Major Principles
• Cognizable Objects:
An object from every day life that is used
for deconstructing social processes that
create social injustice.

32. Critical Pedagogy:
Major Principles
• Generative Themes:
Topics and questions raised by students
become classroom topics for investigation
and exploration.
33. Generative Themes
• Teacher listens to what students discuss
amongst each other as well as the
questions and comments they offer during
class discussions.
• Over time, these topics become centralized
for investigation, inquiry, and community-
based work.
34. Generative Themes
• Students interested in:
• Local politics and policy-making
• Decisions that affect their schools and neighborhoods
• Ecological conditions
• Community-based actions
• Issues present in media
• Cultural commons
