Ethics, Emotion, Education, and Empowerment

This book argues that dominant approaches to teaching ethics fail to adequately support ethical action because empowered action requires intentional emotional engagement and oppressive forces have worked against affective pedagogy. Lisa Kretz argues in favor of pedagogical approaches that empower students to be ethically engaged activists.
