Intersectionality makes visible and relevant marginalized identities and engages students in critical strategies for social justice against oppression, power, and hegemony inside and outside the classroom. As a framework for teaching and learning across journalism, media, and mass communication studies, intersectionality allows instructors to build more inclusive, critical, and reflective educational spaces. In this book, experienced and award-winning professors explore practical teaching strategies and innovative pedagogy to guide other instructors through the practice of integrating intersectionality into courses and curriculum. Chapters offer strategies, case studies, and activities for classroom implementation, as well as providing invaluable practicality from the lived experiences of the authors, most of whom are from intersectionally diverse backgrounds. As an inspiring and immediately applicable guidebook, Instructing Intersectionality is an essential read for course developers, administrators, and instructors in all undergrad and graduate programs.
