The Social Justice Classroom

This project’s mission was inspired by “Undisciplining Victorian Studies” (Chatterjee, Christoff, Wong 2020) to undiscipline the way we teach and learn. It also sprouted at the same time as Pearl Chaozon Bauer’s, Ryan D. Fong’s, Sophia Hsu’s, and Adrian S. Wisnicki’s Undisciplining the Victorian Classroom, 2021. While UVC.org excels in engaging literary material primarily from the Victorian era, this project aims to collect transdisciplinary methodologies and materials dedicated to social justice and anti-racist pedagogy. In the google form attached below, SJC collects syllabi, lesson plans, assignments, reading materials, workbooks, data sets, websites, rubrics, etc., from participating scholars. Once submitted, contributors have the option to contextualize their material in a short virtual interview (available in mp3 and mp4 format) to attach to their submissions. The hope for this site is that it will aid in expanding our pedagogical visibility and collaboration, make materials more accessible and open-source, create more transdisciplinary classrooms, and establish more equitable, diverse, and collaborative spaces across institutions. It also hopes to address an economic disparity in education, inviting independent and public scholars, along with non-collegiate instructors, to access innovative pedagogy, materials, and resources.
