ESJE Series Panel - How Schools Can Use Books from the Series

The Equity and Social Justice in Education series, previously published by W.W. Norton, is a publishing home for books that apply critical and transformative equity and social justice theories to the work of on-the-ground educators. Books in the series describe meaningful solutions to the racism, white supremacy, economic injustice, sexism, hetero-sexism, transphobia, ableism, neoliberalism, and other oppressive conditions that pervade schools and school districts.
In this video from the series Q&A panel, series editor Paul C. Gorski asks six authors from the series:
How are schools using your books?
Panelists discuss how sections of their books can be and have been adopted by school districts for teachers’ professional development, used in teacher preparation programs, and even shared by parent-teacher associations.
Authors on this panel include:
Manya Whitaker, author of Public School Equity: Educational Leadership for Justice;
Shawna Coppola, author of Literacy for All: A Framework for Anti-Oppressive Teaching;
Jenna Chandler-Ward, coauthor of Learning and Teaching While White: Antiracist Strategies for School Communities with Elizabeth Denevi;
Noreen Naseem Rodríguez, coauthor of Social Studies for a Better World: An Anti-Oppressive Approach for Elementary Educators with Katy Swalwell and Teaching Asian America in Elementary Classrooms with Sohyun An and Esther June Kim;
Alex Shevrin Venet, author of Equity-Centered Trauma-Informed Education and Becoming an Everyday Changemaker: Healing Justice at School;
and JPB Gerald, author of the upcoming Embracing the Exceptions: Meeting the Needs of Neurodivergent Students of Color.
