Head, Heart & Hands: Three Conversations about Equity Education
Chris Brown

Abstract
This article outlines three key conversations about equity education that foster the perspective transformation of university pre-service teachers. The first conversation is about the head and relates to how we make sense of the world and how we have been socialized. The head conversation encourages us to learn differently and to question how we know what we know. The second conversation is about the heart. This conversation asks us to critique power and privilege in our classrooms. The third conversation is about the hands. This conversation provides a way for teachers to be inclusive by providing education for and about those who may be marginalized in our classrooms.
