This article presents a study that explored how race and racism impact teaching and learning and how civic education can be employed to promote racial justice. We argue the need to examine educators’ perspectives on how increased awareness of existing inequities coupled with ongoing professional development can better equip them to understand their identity, engage in meaningful dialogue, and teach in culturally responsive ways. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of teaching implications related to self-assessment, disruptive discourse, and inclusive practices.

公平的拥护者：促进公民教育以挑战沉默、种族不平等和不公正

本文介绍了一项研究，探讨了种族和种族主义如何影响教学和学习，以及如何利用公民教育来促进种族正义。我们认为有必要检查教育工作者的观点，即提高对现有不平等的认识以及持续的专业发展如何能够更好地让他们了解自己的身份、进行有意义的对话并以文化响应的方式进行教学。本文最后简要讨论了与自我评估、破坏性话语和包容性实践相关的教学影响。
