Classroom Action: Human Rights, Critical Activism, and Community-Based Education

Building on the concept of a “teaching community,” Heble and his contributors explore what it might mean for teachers and students to reach outside the walls of the classroom and attempt to establish meaningful connections between the ideas and theories they have learned and the broader community beyond campus. Utilizing a case study approach, the chapters in this volume are conceptually and practically useful for teachers and students involved in thinking about and implementing community-based forms of teaching and learning.

Classroom Action links teaching and research in genuinely innovative ways, and provides a range of dissemination strategies to inspire broad-based outcomes and impact among a diverse range of knowledge-users. It marks a major advance on the ways in which the relationship among pedagogy, human rights, and community-based learning has hitherto been theorized and practiced. The community-based learning at the centre of Classroom Action prompts a radically new means of thinking about what teachers do in the classroom, and how and why they do it.

What People are Saying About This

Honor Ford-Smith

"Classroom Action offers a range of imaginative and inspiring ideas which both teachers and students will find compelling. The contributors demonstrate in empirical and engaging ways how education can shape human subjects through action/reflection and how that shaping can be accomplished in dialogue with multiple communities. It will be extremely useful for educators interested in critical education and social change and for those struggling to address university/community relations."
