Description

Research Methods for Social Justice and Equity in Education offers researchers a full understanding of very important concepts, showing how they can be used a means to develop practical strategies for undertaking research that makes a difference to the lives of marginalised and disadvantaged learners. It explores different conceptualisations of social justice and equity, and leads the reader through a discussion of what their implications are for undertaking educational research that is both moral and ethical and how it can be enacted in the context of their chosen research method and a variety of others, both well-known and more innovative. The authors draw on real, practical examples from a range of educational contexts, including early childhood, special and inclusive education and adult education, and cultures located in both western and developing nations in order to exemplify how researchers can use methods which contribute to the creation of more equitable education systems. In this way, the authors provide a global perspective of the contrasting and creative ways in which researchers reflect on and integrate principles of social justice in their methods and their methodological decision making. It encourages the reader to think critically about their own research by asking key questions, such as: what contribution can research for equity and social justice make to new and emerging methods and methodologies? And how can researchers implement socially just research methods from a position of power? This book concludes by proposing a range of methods and methodologies which researchers can use to challenge inequality and work towards social justice, offering a springboard from which they can further their own studies.

Explores the concepts of social justice and equity and considers their ethical and methodological implications for educational research practice in different contexts and with different communities.

Reviews
This book is filled with rich accounts of what it means to research social justice in socially just ways. It is inspirational for both novice and experienced researchers who are committed to social justice and the importance of thinking deeply about how we undertake such research. * Jan McArthur, Senior Lecturer of Education and Social Justice, Lancaster University, UK *
Any social science researcher seeking an evolved moral and ethical research will ... find this volume instructive. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals. * CHOICE *
The book ranges over a great deal of ground, and presents a nuanced, provocative, and useful compendium of research methods and case studies which is widely applicable to educational researchers, and indeed to all researchers seeking an equitable and just approach to fieldwork. * In Factis Pax *
Ideal for postgraduate students in that it goes further than the many core textbooks on research methods and contains many interesting ideas for research in specific areas in social justice. The book is critical and comprehensive and maintains interest from the reader with the many case studies and examples of authentic data. * Alaster Douglas, Reader in Education and Professional Practice, University of Roehampton, UK *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
