Embracing Trauma in the Classroom articulates a framework for understanding trauma not as a merely biological or individual reality, but as a social production that is inseparable from systems of power and oppression.

Critics Review
“Embracing Trauma in the Classroom reminds us that teaching and learning are interrelated, and of the impact that trauma-informed pedagogies and teaching can have on the current state of higher education. The author also emphasizes the strong connection between vulnerability and possibility in the classroom. This is the kind of book that gives us courage to meet our students on a deep human level through trauma-informed teaching. This is such an important resource for scholars and practitioners alike who are committed to transformative teaching and learning.”
