Description
Interreligious Studies and Secondary Education: Pedagogies and Practices for Living and Learning in a Religiously Plural World is a groundbreaking collection of essays exploring the role of interreligious studies in public, private, and parochial secondary education. Edited by Lucinda Mosher, Axel M. Oaks Takacs, and Christine Gallagher, the volume is divided into four parts: Theory, Practice, Religiously Affiliated School Settings, and Beyond Secondary Education. Contributors—including several alumni of the ICJS Teachers and Nonprofit and Civic Professionals Fellowships—offer insights into religious literacy, the impact of Christian privilege, and the transformative power of interfaith dialogue and experiential learning. Practical chapters present strategies for integrating interreligious studies into curricula, while others reflect on the unique challenges faced by faith-based institutions. The book also highlights youth-led initiatives outside traditional classrooms.
Each chapter ends with a list of discussion questions. Our hope is that administrators, professional learning communities, teacher educators, and more can use these essays as a way to begin conversations in their own schools.
