Recognizing microaggression as an often unseen, yet pervasive issue
in schools globally, this book offers critical examination of
instances of aggression, hostility, and incivility in school
contexts around the world. Drawing on authors' experiences and
empirical analyses, the volume puts forward practical
recommendations to remedy such violence and tackle its root causes.
Global Perspectives on Microaggressions in Schools brings together
contributions from South Africa, Australia, Canada, and the US to
explore the various forms that microaggression can take. Authors
implement qualitative methodologies, personal reflection, and
empirical literature to document microaggressions perpetrated by,
and directed against all members of the school community, including
students, teachers, school leaders, and administrators. In doing
so, they highlight ongoing issues including xenophobia, sexual
violence, and prejudice against gifted students, LGBTQ, refugee,
and indigenous communities. Looking forward, the volume proposes
practical ways to undermine such prejudices and prevent the
occurrence of microaggressions through effective training, policy,
leadership, and student agency. Given its rigorous approach and
attention to widespread issues of school violence, this book will
be a timely resource for scholars, researchers, and academics with
an interest in the sociology of education, educational leadership,
school culture, student well-being, and inclusive education. In
addition, school leaders, administrators, and pre- and in-service
educators may find benefit from reading this volume.
