Teaching From the Heart: Critical Communication Pedagogy in the Communication Classroom uses a social-justice framework to introduce beginning instructors to classroom pedagogy. Readers will learn the history, vocabulary, and skill set needed to recognize teaching and learning as sites for humanization, transformation, and growth. Topics include mentoring as an act of love, assessment, power, facilitating critical dialogue about oppression and privilege, and developing social justice classroom activities for the communication classroom. Both critical and pragmatic, Teaching From the Heart is ideal for courses in teaching communication and a valuable tool for any instructor who wishes to work with students to explore issues regarding power, privilege, and oppression while learning meaningful course content. C. Kyle Rudick is an assistant professor of communication at the University of Northern Iowa. He is interested in how power, privilege, and oppression are constructed and marshaled through everyday communication processes, specifically in educational contexts. His research has appeared in Communication Education, Western Journal of Communication, and the Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed Journal. Kathryn B. Golsan is a Ph.D. candidate in communication studies at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. Her areas of research include liberatory modalities for teacher pedagogy/training, communication pedagogy, curriculum design, and classroom assessment practices. Her pedagogy focuses on fostering democratic/socially just relationships with students, particularly in the introductory communication course. Kyle Cheesewright is the director of speech and debate at The College of Idaho. His research addresses critical and creative ways to engage with and transform culture and politics.
