Abstract
How do democratic practices relate to social justice in our classrooms? What risks to social justice might democratic classroom discussions pose? In this article, I respond to these questions by drawing upon educational scholarship and data from a qualitative study in four U.S. secondary classrooms on the meanings and implications of teaching for social justice. More specifically, I foreground how specific configurations of students, teachers, and school structures present both openings and barriers to the realization of democratic and socially just classrooms. In addition to emphasizing the value of Socratic seminars and deliberations, I assert that such structured discussions do not necessarily promote culturally relevant learning or challenge entrenched systems of oppression and domination. To address these tensions, I propose personal, pedagogical, and institutional strategies for advancing productive dialogues across difference that, although still rife with contradictions, hold promise for the reconstruction of a more democratic and just social order.
