Roundtable: Intersectional Pedagogy in Criminology and Criminal Justice

Session Submission Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This roundtable discussion will contextualize the use of intersectionality in teaching criminology and criminal to diverse and homogeneous student populations. With increasing divides within the administration of justice permeating the nation regarding race and social control, there is a need for innovative teaching strategies that are aimed to reach a wide array of students and perspectives in an inclusionary but educative manner. Such divides have increasingly placed pressure on instructors to refocus pedagogical strategies to teach intersectionality. This pedagogical panel will inform attendees of
strategies they may execute to teach the complexity of crime and social control in contemporary society.
