This edited collection broadens understanding of family–school–community partnerships by focusing on how community groups, educators, and university professors engage with public education to achieve their own goals rather than goals defined by schools, school systems, and governments. Authors critically examine various school–community partnerships that collectively aim to improve decision-making, democratize policy processes, resist policies that support the marketization of public education, and advocate for racial equality. The book’s chapters focus on advocacy efforts within and across three national contexts—England, Canada, and the United States. Together they expand current scholarship by demonstrating how different constituencies develop alliances, experience tensions, and navigate the politics inherent in change efforts. By examining the intersections of parent and community organizing, teacher unions, and school–community partnerships across national contexts, the chapters uncover fruitful new terrain for understanding the theory and practice of educational activism. This volume was originally published as a special issue of Leadership and Policy in Schools.

Teachers, community activists, and parents acknowledge and applaud democratic educational systems that establish partnerships between universities and the urban communities they serve.This book profiles local and national efforts to transform urban education and reinvent urban teacher preparation. It describes real programs in real urban schools that have developed policy initiatives that promote educational equity, community-based curricula, and teacher education and parent empowerment programs that emphasize democratic collaboration among universities, urban teachers, parents, and community members. By involving all stakeholders, this comprehensive approach provides a model for creating urban schools that not only excite and inspire, but also serve as engines for social change. Contending that urban education reform will fail without public engagement and a commitment to social justice, the contributors challenge urban educators to become accountable to their students and the communities they serve.

This book offers an urgently needed re-imagining of what education can and must be in an era marked by escalating division, culture wars, and global precarity. Writing against the backdrop of “Brexit”, the Covid-19 pandemic, far-right resurgence, and intensifying geopolitical crises, Gholami and Tran show how contemporary politics weaponizes concepts such as social justice, diversity, and decolonization—either to vilify them or to empty them of meaning. In response, the book reframes social justice as a “good ideology”: an educational necessity that transcends left–right political binaries and offers a foundation for democratic, pluralist educational futures.Addressing a range of issues from the politics of untruth to climate injustice, from the religious-secular nexus to higher-education free speech debates, the authors illuminate how the "thumbprint" of coloniality can be discerned across all the key issues affecting education today, threatening both democracy and the ethical purpose of education. They argue that a re-energized decoloniality must run through the practice of education at all levels. The book thus offers a practical, research-informed framework for educators to make social justice immediately “workable” in their classrooms, communities, and institutions. It maps a pathway towards “collective knowledge”—a collectivist epistemology born of and reflecting the unique ethical dynamics of diverse locales and rooted firmly in social justice. Accessible, timely, and conceptually innovative, Knowledges that Destroy is essential reading for educators, policymakers, and all those committed to renewing education as a shared, democratic, and socially just endeavour.
