{"product_id":"catholic-social-learning-9780823233281","title":"Catholic Social Learning","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe canon for Catholic social teaching spreads to six hundred pages,yet fewer than two pages are devoted to Catholic social learning or pedagogy. In this long-needed book, Roger Bergman begins to correct that gross imbalance. He asks: How do we educate (“lead out”) the faith that does justice? How is commitment to social justice provoked and sustained over a lifetime? To address these questions, Bergman weaves what he has learned from thirty years as a faith-that-does-justice educator with the best of current scholarship and historical authorities. He reflects on personal experience; the experience of Church leaders, lay activists, and university students; and the few words the tradition itself has to say about a pedagogy for justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCatholic Social Learning\u003c\/i\u003e explores the foundations of this pedagogy, demonstrates its practical applications, and illuminates why and how it is fundamental to Catholic higher education. Part I identifies personal encounters with the poor and marginalized as key to stimulating a hunger and thirst for justice. Part II presents three applications of Catholic social learning: cross-cultural immersion as illustrated by Creighton University’s Semestre Dominicano program; community-based service learning; and the teaching of moral exemplars such as Dorothy Day, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and Archbishop Oscar Romero. Part III then elucidates how a pedagogy for justice applies to the traditional liberal educational mission of the Catholic university, and how it can be put into action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCatholic Social Learning \u003c\/i\u003eis both a valuable, practical resource for Christian educators and an important step forward in the development of a transformative pedagogy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger Bergman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48282657980667,"sku":"9780823233281","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_8dc90142-7c18-41cd-9dff-4218ff092d57.jpg?v=1778527490","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/catholic-social-learning-9780823233281","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
