Contemporary issues of equity in education / edited by Susanne Gannon and Wayne Sawyer.
"Leading researchers interrogate the design of educational systems for social justice, fairness and inclusion at multiple levels from classrooms and schools through to universities and initial teacher education. Chapters trace the way in which gender, ethnicity, class, and refugee experiences intersect with indices of socioeconomic disadvantage in ways that directly impact on young people's learning and on the pedagogical work of teachers. The book demonstrates collaborative and inclusive approaches for researching schooling in disadvantaged communities. It offers strategies and practices for reimagining schools and universities in ways that enable young people in high poverty and culturally and linguistically diverse communities to effectively engage with education." - Back cover.
