Educators on Diversity, Social Justice, and Schooling

In their new critical reader, editors Mary Jane Harkins and Sonya E. Singer argue that ‘sorting’ ourselves into identity categories results in sexism, racism, heterosexism, homophobia, classism, ableism, and other ‘isms’. This book’s 19 innovative chapters invite educators, teachers and education students to reflect on schooling practices as a contextualized social process, which requires having and retaining at the forefront of thinking, the intricate inter-weavings of the systemic and cultural impact of race, gender, class, sexuality and ability on the everyday lives of students.
