Exploring Identity Through Social Justice Pedagogies

This interactive session engages participants with intermediate-level curricular units in French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish that address multilingual/multicultural identity through a social justice lens. To begin, each presenter will provide an overview of their unit. Then, curriculum developers will discuss the challenges, successes, and highlights of implementing the units in their classrooms. The presentation will culminate with a Q&A session followed by a demonstration of how attendees can access the curricular units for use in their classrooms.
