Antiracist Teaching and Learning equips legal educators to confront structural racism through intentional, practice-ready pedagogy. Developed in collaboration with the Antiracist Development Institute at Penn State Dickinson Law, this timely guide challenges faculty to recognize how legal education can either reinforce or disrupt systemic inequities.
Organized into four parts, the book first establishes core platform methodologies for change, including the systems design approach to teaching, critical pedagogy, and reimagined classroom hierarchies. It then offers concrete tools for solo-educator and clinical courses as well as multi-instructor ones, from reflective practice and racial identity development models to critical research instruction and foundational curriculum reform. The final section addresses outcomes, feedback, and how to sustain antiracist commitments in the face of resistance.
Accessible and action-oriented, this resource empowers educators to redesign learning outcomes, reshape classroom culture, and take on the important responsibility of preparing future lawyers to dismantle injustice within the legal system.
