Reviews
'Tabatabai's well-timed Teaching Diversity arrives at a moment when we urgently need direction, courage, and encouragement to continue the work of critical identity studies in the pursuit of community, belonging, and collective democracy. She reminds us that belonging-in the classroom and in the world-is not solely a matter of individual enlightenment or empowerment, but requires recognition of the social collective and structural conditions that shape power and inequalities. Teaching Diversity challenges us to attend not only to what we do, but also to what must be undone, revealing the transformative power of critical diversity studies.' -- Charlotte A. Kunkel, Luther College, USA
'Drawing on decades of experience teaching diversity in higher education, Ahoo Tabatabai offers a compelling and accessible defence of critical pedagogy. This beautifully written book provides clear theoretical discussion of what diversity is and why it matters, combined with practical guidance on how to initiate and facilitate conversations about sensitive topics with diverse groups of students, and how to guide students through the process of becoming critical thinkers. At a moment when such work is under sustained attack, as prejudice and discrimination abound, Tabatabai's contribution could not be more timely or necessary.' -- Vanessa May, University of Manchester, UK
