Embodied Social Justice (Paperback)

Embodied Social Justice introduces a unique approach to working with the lived experience of the body as key to understanding and transforming oppressive social interactions. This book integrates key findings from education, psychology, sociology, and somatic studies while addressing critical gaps in how these fields have understood and responded to real-life issues of social justice.

Embodied Social Justice introduces a body-centered approach to working with oppression, designed for social workers, counselors, educators, and other human service professionals. Grounded in current research, this integrative approach to social justice works directly with the implicit knowledge of our bodies to address imbalances in social power. Consisting of a conceptual framework, case examples, and a model of practice, Embodied Social Justice integrates key findings from education, psychology, traumatology, and somatic studies while addressing critical gaps in how these fields have understood and responded to everyday issues of social justice.
