Biography
Kim A. Case is Associate Professor of Psychology and Women’s Studies, Director of the Applied Social Issues graduate sub-plan, and Director of the Teaching-Learning Enhancement Center at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, Houston, Texas, USA.
"Deconstructing Privilege is clearly intended for an audience of educators, but it would be unfortunate if its readership extended no further. Distribution of such a tool can support movement against a long-engrained societal context supporting the survival of privilege, even in the presence of discrimination advocacy. Case’s book would provide a meaningful introduction to this topic for students, scholars, organizational leaders, or anyone else interested in social justice and self-awareness."― Psychology of Women Quarterly, Anna C. Lewis, Lyndse S. Anderson, and Nancy Lynn Baker, Fielding Graduate University, Santa Barbara, CA
"...the contributed essays provide educators with a suggested road map to assist students in developing a greater sense of their own identities, access, and privilege in relation to the greater whole. This book would significantly assist future professionals (e.g., teachers, social workers, councelors, and psychologists) in developing their own cultural competencies to assist individuals from different backgrounds. Summing Up: Highly Recommended." - G. Moreno, Northeastern Illinois University, in CHOICE, March 2014
