Although scholarly examinations of privilege have increased in recent decades, an emphasis on privilege studies pedagogy remains lacking within institutions. This edited collection explores best practices for effective teaching and learning about various forms of systemic group privilege such as that based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, and class. Formatted in three easy-to-follow sections, Deconstructing Privilege charts the history of privilege studies and provides intersectional approaches to the topic.

Drawing on a wealth of research and real-life accounts, this book gives educators both the theoretical foundations they need to address issues of privilege in the classroom and practical ways to forge new paths for critical dialogues in educational settings. Combining interdisciplinary contributions from leading experts in the field-- such as Tim Wise and Abby Ferber-- with pedagogical strategies and tips for teaching about privilege, Deconstructing Privilege is an essential book for any educator who wants to address what privilege really means in the classroom.

Industry Reviews

'The contributed essays provide educators with a suggested road map to assist students in developing a greater sense of their own identities, access, and privilege in relation to the greater whole. This book would significantly assist future professionals (e.g., teachers, social workers, councelors, and psychologists) in developing their own cultural competencies to assist individuals from different backgrounds.'- G. Moreno, Northeastern Illinois University for CHOICE magazine

"Deconstructing Privilege is clearly intended for an audience of educators, but it would be unfortunate if its readership extended no further. Distribution of such a tool can support movement against a long-engrained societal context supporting the survival of privilege, even in the presence of discrimination advocacy. Case's book would provide a meaningful introduction to this topic for students, scholars, organizational leaders, or anyone else interested in social justice and self-awareness."- Psychology of Women Quarterly, Anna C. Lewis, Lyndse S. Anderson, and Nancy Lynn Baker, Fielding Graduate University, Santa Barbara, CA

Summing Up: Highly Recommended." - G. Moreno, Northeastern Illinois University, in CHOICE, March 2014
