Author Description

This volume answers questions regarding the issue of social justice in education. Its central theme is the formation and development of learner and teacher identities 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. The volume is based on current research, carried out by the contributors themselves, and balances theory and research with extensive empirical evidence. The debate therefore has implications for policy and practice, as well as being theoretically and analytically rich. This book provides coverage of the subject for researchers, academics, practitioners and policymakers in education.
