Schooling for Social Change

Monisha Bajaj is Assistant Professor of Education in the Department of International and Transcultural Studies at Teachers College, Columbia University.

"Professor Bajaj has done a most impressive multi-level study of a major human rights education program in India. She traces her case from the national level down to individual teachers and students. The book will be essential for those interested in civics and human rights education as these fields evolve in developing countries. It will also be of great interest to students of Indian society and education more generally." John W. Meyer, Professor of Sociology, Emeritus, Stanford University
