It takes more than good intentions to make meaningful change
The spirit slashing of injustice: that is how McDermott describes the psychic toll that marginalized students face every day. So how can you make a difference? McDermott gives you the tools to become a powerful ally, showing you how to:
- Better understand injustice so you can pierce the fog of privilege and embrace ally-hood
- Fill the gap between your desire to eliminate injustice and the attitudes and skills required to be effective
- Leverage your natural strengths, including your disposition, educational training, and professional position
- Challenge the structural barriers, practices, and beliefs that diminish opportunities for many students
