"This text offers a cohesive framework for exploring social justice
through drama and drama from a social justice perspective. Research
based examples of practice from a range of international contexts
link theory and practice. Connecting chapters raise key critical
questions in an engaging dialogue format. An important addition to
the literature on social justice education." - Lee Anne Bell,
author Storytelling for Social Justice (2010) and co-editor of
Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice (Routledge, 2007) Much
has been written within the tradition of drama education and
applied theatre around the premise that drama can be a force for
change within both individual lives and society more broadly.
However, little has been published in terms of charting the nature
of this relationship. By combining theoretical, historical and
practical perspectives, this book unpacks and explores drama's
intrinsically entwined relationship with society more
comprehensively and critically. Chapters gather together and
develop a range of theoretical understandings of social justice in
applied drama in the first part of the book, which are then used to
frame and inform more focused discussions of drama research and
practice in the second. Contributors move beyond practical
understandings of drama for empowerment or development in order to
engage with the philosophy of praxis - the interconnected and
symbiotic nature of theory derived from practice, and practice
derived from theory. Including concrete examples from current
research and practice in the field, the book opens up a
conversation on and counter-narrative to perceptions of the nature
and impact of applied theatre and drama education on social
justice. Drama and Social Justice will be key reading for
postgraduate students, academics, researchers and field-based
practitioners in the areas of applied drama and theatre, education
and youth work, and social justice and the social sciences.
