Education for Social Justice is a statement of the role of
education in promoting social justice. Drawing on research, this
book explains what social justice is, presents the argument that
democracy requires a commitment to social justice, and shows what
action steps need to be taken to ensure social justice is achieved
within education and society more broadly. The text presents
research and concrete examples to examine the social justice issues
facing society today. Some of the social justice topics explored
include: access to higher education, informal education (such as
museums and art galleries) and adequate civic education; racial and
gender discrimination within education; as well as access to
healthcare and the vote, which impact students’ learning. It
explores specific research and action for each of these elements
and, at the end of the book, provides potential paths forward to
improve social justice outcomes. This timely book encourages
readers to consider what we can do to enhance social justice in
education and society. It is important reading for pre-service
teachers, particularly those studying Teaching for Social Justice,
Social Studies Education, as well as Educational Policy and
Politics, as well as for in-service teachers who want to make a
difference.
