This chapter of Promoting Equity and Justice through Pedagogical Partnership focuses on promising future directions and possibilities of pedagogical partnership to redress harm and promote epistemic, affective, and ontological justice. Each author offers an example of integrating, applying, and carrying forward the conceptual framework presented in chapter 2. The examples move from individual student experiences as those intersect with institutional and larger structures, through raising the possibility of focusing on faculty experience, to describing institution-wide efforts to move toward more equitable and justice-oriented approaches. In these examples, the authors endeavor to integrate different dimensions of the framework, showing how epistemic, affective, and ontological justice are interwoven in the projects featured, and also highlighting the exciting and important new directions for partnership inquiry and practice with equity-focused intentions. Finally, the chapter offers several examples of equity- and justice-focused work undertaken at institutions in the United States, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Israel, and Malaysia, and it poses questions to help readers consider how the framework might apply to diverse individual, institutional, and national contexts.

Discussion Questions

  • In what ways does each example presented in this chapter show promise for redressing harm and promoting epistemic, affective, and ontological justice?
  • How could variations on such efforts better achieve those goals?
  • How might the framework presented in the book apply to diverse individual, institutional, and national contexts, and how might it need to be modified in other (particularly non-Western) contexts around the world?
