Joe,
I find the book:
'Teaching for diversity and social justice' by Maurianne Adams, Lee Ann
Bell and Pat Griffin (1997, Routledge)
quite useful. It's a source book for university teachers and has a series
of workshops detailed plus handouts.
There are chapters devoted to social justice, racism, sexism, heterosexism,
antisemitism, ableism, classism, multiple issues, etc.
cheers,
Rob
