From the abstract: "In this chapter, we describe the development and implementation of Global Social Justice in Education (GSJE), a virtual, international, collaborative course for education students from six countries (China, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania, United States, and Zambia) to explore global social justice issues. The GSJE course was designed to raise awareness of the complexities of local cultures, cultivate empathy for different lived experiences, and investigate multiple worldviews related to social justice issues in education. Participants engage in virtual meetings with synchronous activities including online discussions and intercultural collaborative work, as well as asynchronous experiences such as reflections and conducting country-specific inquiry. Other goals of GSJE include grappling with personal and professional positions, fostering intercultural relationships with educators in other countries, and recognizing inequities in education in both local and global contexts. GSJE is a cross-national curriculum initiative that provides opportunities to investigate how to effectively address global social justice issues. Participants complete a meta reflection to highlight their intercultural learning experiences, increased understandings of global social justice issues, and connections between local contexts and global realities. The overarching GSJE goal is to promote global solidarity by cultivating an international learning community of practice."

From the abstract: "We propose that educational research going forward must focus on the effective design, implementation, and evaluation of teacher and administrator training regarding issues of social justice, particularly as it relates to cultural competency and cultural responsivity."

From the abstract: "Communicating across Cultures (CaC) is an undergraduate course that exists to achieve the goal of equipping students to effectively work in multicultural environments. Students’ worldviews, beliefs, and values shape their experience with the course materials and potentially impact the degree to which they achieve the intended learning outcomes.The objective of this study was to determine which aspects of students’ identities are most salient to their experiences in CaC. The Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI), a psychometric instrument that illuminates how the self is structured, was administered as a pre-/post-test at the beginning and end of the Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 semesters."

From the introduction: "The goals of the columns will be

• To engage readers in a meaningful and intentional conversation around EDI and ask them to reflect on their own practices
• To expose readers to scaffolded social justice concepts as pertinent to serving and teaching people of diverse backgrounds
• To demonstrate the relevance of social justice concepts by providing examples of how they intersect with science librarianship"
