Social Justice, Education and Identity

This book answers questions regarding the issue of social justice in education. Its central theme is the formation and development of learner and teacher identifies within the education system. It examines the ways in which particular social groups experience learning and teaching, evaluating the role that education has to play in addressing social justice concerns. Divided into three sections, this book covers theoretical debates in social justice, learner identities and experiences and teacher identities and the impact of recent policy developments. Carol Vincent has assembled a wide-ranging collection of lucidly argued essays by an international panel of highly respected contributors. The volume is based on current research and balanced with theory and extensive empirical evidence.
