Using Documentary Film to Teach Social Justice and Global Awareness in Educational Leadership.
Defining Social Justice in a Global Context: The Changing Face of Educational Leadership
(2012)
Abstract
Documentary films offer a dynamic medium for use as a component part of an engaging curriculum in the educational leadership classroom. The use of documentary films can contribute to a sophisticated global vision that uniquely informs a socially just and culturally responsible disposition of school leaders. Three films are discussed, Baraka (Frick 1992), Schooling the World; The White Man’s Last Burden (Black, 2010) and Which Way Home (Camissa, 2009).
