Human Rights Pedagogies in the Classroom: Social Justice, US Indigenous Communities and CSL Projects

Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 23-50 (28)

Authors: FALCÓN, Sylvanna M. and JACOB, Michelle M.

In this article, we argue for a human rights pedagogy that considers how a critical engagement of CSL projects has fostered a bridging moment between academic and non-academic communities and offers new possibili- ties for building community. We analyze CSL projects with the American Indian Recruitment Programs – a grassroots, non-profit organization based in San Diego, California. We conclude our article with a human rights-based pedagogical model that is built upon the idea of interwoven liberation.
