Beskrivning
This timely Handbook examines the enduring challenges to the pursuit of social justice in education. International scholars adopt an intersectional lens to assess equity issues, exploring limiting factors and transformative opportunities. Chapters analyse key obstacles confronting social justice in education, including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate emergencies, wars, forced displacement and deepening economic inequality. Contributing authors explore the role of the arts, culture and participatory methodologies and pay particular attention to decolonial perspectives, case studies, such as the weaponization of the hijab, and research with children and young people with communication needs. Employing a critical approach, the book investigates epistemic injustices and suggests ways to re-imagine social justice, informing an activist stance to education. Handbook of Social Justice in Education is a crucial resource for scholars and students of education, politics and public policy and sociology. Practitioners and activists interested in improving equality in education will also benefit from its valuable insights.

Recensioner i media

‘This Handbook offers a timely and comprehensive exploration of social justice in education. Bringing together diverse theoretical and empirical perspectives, it provides valuable insights for scholars, educators, and policymakers committed to addressing inequality and promoting more just educational systems. The volume engages with a wide range of themes, including the foundations of social justice in education, intersectionality and inclusive educational practices, decolonising education and disrupting colonial legacies, and the role of arts, culture, and radical pedagogies in foregrounding education for social justice in turbulent times. At a moment when questions of equity and inclusion are central to educational debates worldwide, this Handbook stands as an important and comprehensive resource. Its rich perspectives will inform research, teaching, and practice in the ongoing pursuit of social justice in education.’
