Research Studies on Educating for Diversity and Social Justice [Hardcover]

In the 21st century, issues around diversity and social justice have become popular buzz words in the educational discourse. This volume moves beyond popular buzz to critically explore issues of diversity and social justice through research studies that capture the complexity of educating in the 21st century. Drawing from a wide range of topics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, social class, language, parental involvement and special needs along with other issues; this volume pushes the boundaries of exploring diversity and social justice through the lens of intersectionality. It will be helpful for scholars and practitioners seeking to transform the educational experiences of historically underserved students.
