Theory to Practice in Critical and Social Justice Education
About the Book Series
This series uses a critical lens to both examine and provide social-justice oriented visions for reimagining and transforming educational systems, institutions, programs, and initiatives. Books in the series draw on critical theories and anti-oppressive social justice frameworks as analytical tools to help readers more deeply understand how systemic oppression and injustice operate in schools, and as guiding transformative principles that propose and help readers imagine the possibilities of more just educational futures. Combining theory with practical implementation, the books are written in accessible and engaging style, while maintaining theoretical and conceptual depth. Timely and engaging, the Theory to Practice in Critical and Social Justice Education series will be important reading for scholars and students of critical pedagogy, social justice education, and equity and diversity in education.
