Bibliography Note Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents Note "This book has documented and analysed the RMRME project and the school-based action research that it fostered. The research we conducted was designed to provide an ethnographic study of the field of multicultural education in Australia and of a process of professional development within that field. But it was also designed to promote change and to provide some conceptual and methodological tools for doing that. We asked fourteen schools to ‘rethink’ multicultural education with us, foregrounding a number of challenges to assumptions about ‘culture’ in an increasingly globalized and hyperdiverse world. We were interested to see how teachers, as professionals, would respond to these challenges and deploy their existing and developing expertise to ‘do diversity differently’". -- Conclusion.
Summary Note "'Doing diversity differently in a culturally complex world' explores the challenges facing multicultural education in the 21st century. Megan Watkins and Greg Noble examine how a diverse range of schools address the challenges that 'superdiversity' poses, considering how the strengths and limitations of each school's approach reflect wider logics of traditional multiculturalism. In contrast, the authors argue for a transformative multiculturalism involving a more critically reflexive approach to understanding the processes, relations and identities of the contemporary world." - Back cover.
