Book Overview: Today there is a critical need for educators to be prepared to teach an increasingly diverse student population.  Social justice is an umbrella term that is used in a multiplicity of ways and defined by a range of perspectives.  Studies of, and interactions with, issues of social justice deepen our understanding of our sense of place within the communities and the worlds in which we live.  We invite researchers, educators, graduate students, as well as community and global activists to share their voices in this ever-evolving conversation around schooling, social justice and diversity.

Completed chapters should be between 4,500 and 6,000 words (excluding references).  Thank you in advance for considering this invitation.  We hope to hear from you soon.
