Educating for Diversity and Social Justice foregrounds the personal
stories of educators who are engaging the space of schooling as a
site of possibility for realizing the goals of social justice. It
is a book inspired by a vision of education as a practice of
freedom where young people - especially those who are marginalized
- can learn that they have a voice and the power to change their
world for the better. Drawing on the work of US philosopher Nancy
Fraser, the book examines issues of justice and schooling in
relation to three dimensions: political, cultural and economic.
While its focus is on research within three Australian case study
schools, the book provides an international perspective of these
dimensions of justice in western education contexts as they impact
on the schooling performance of marginalized students. Towards
greater equity for these students, the book presents a
comprehensive scaffold for thinking about and addressing issues of
schooling, diversity and social justice. Through practical examples
from the case study research, the book illustrates the complexities
and possibilities associated with schools providing inclusive
environments where marginalized voices are heard (political
justice), where marginalized culture is recognized and valued
(cultural justice) and where marginalized students are supported to
achieve academically towards accessing the material benefits of
society (economic justice).
