These questions drive the authors’ inquiry into philosophical and conceptual assumptions of curricula and pedagogies of social justice education. From an extensive study of social justice theoretical underpinnings and impactful practice, the authors present a set of six principles, Throughout the book are examples of art and artists whose work engages with one or more of principles of social justice presented in this book.

The 2023 Activist Intellectual Award by the Governing Council for the Curriculum and Pedagogy Group is made to community members/activists/intellectuals whose contributions have been critical in contesting domination and power through situated and committed knowledge production in the service of community and society.

The 2023 Activist Intellectual Award has been awarded to, 

Rev. Dr. Donna "Mama" King, a posthumous mention recognizes Mama King's commitment to racial equity in education, her work as a historian of the abolitionist movement in Bellefonte and Centre County, as well as her pedagogical work as a public intellectual, to name a few of her contributions. Her daughter, Kimisse King, will accept the award on behalf of Rev. Dr. Mama King.

Dr. Sue Rankin. Dr. Rankin  has been a trailblazer in the LGBTQ rights movement for many decades. Dr. Rankin was one of the first openly lesbian NCAA Division I coaches and was ultimately terminated for her openness. Since then, she has fought tirelessly for gender and sexual equality in sports and beyond. Recognizing the need to better understand marginalized communities, Dr. Rankin became an expert researcher with the belief that data could help inform better policy and services. She’s led survey research projects at over 300 colleges and universities in North America aimed at increasing belonging for minoritized people. She has presented and published widely on the impact of sexism, racism, genderism, and heterosexism in the academy and intercollegiate athletics. In her life and work, she’s been a mentor for hundreds if not thousands and fierce advocate for justice.
