Tillmann, Kathryn Norsworthy, Steven Schoen\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032100487, 978-1032100487\nSynopsis\nThis collection immerses scholars of communication and related disciplines in narratives of and conversations about social-justice-focused activism.\n\nThrough autoethnographic essays, Mindful Activism chronicles the authors experiences as activist academics challenging and seeking to remedy injustices on campus and in local and global communities. Those experiences range from engaging in a single activist act to collaborating over many years with oppressed communities and social change groups. Building upon communication activism research and following a liberation-based transformative learning model, the book shows both activism in action and deep reflection on that activism.
