International Advances in Education: Global Initiatives for Equity and Social Justice is an international research
monograph series of scholarly works that primarily focus on empowering students (children, adolescents, and young
adults) from diverse current circumstances and historic beliefs and traditions to become non-exploited/non-exploitive
contributing members of the 21st century. The series draws on the research and innovative practices of investigators,
academics, and community organizers around the globe that have contributed to the evidence base for developing sound
educational policies, practices, and programs that optimize all students' potential. Each volume includes multidisciplinary theory, research, and practices that provide an
enriched understanding of the drivers of human potential via education to assist others in exploring, adapting, and replicating innovative strategies that enable ALL
students to realize their full potential. Chapters in this volume are drawn from a wide range of countries including: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, Georgia,
Haiti, India, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Portugal, Slovenia, Tanzania, Ukraine, and The United States all addressing issues of educational inequity, economic constraint, class bias
and the links between education, poverty and social status.
The individual chapters provide examples of theory, research, and practice that collectively present a lively, informative, cross-perspective, international conversation
highlighting the significant gross economic and social injustices that abound in a wide variety of educational contexts around the world while spotlighting important,
inspirational, and innovative remedies. Taken together, the chapters advance our understanding of best practices in the education of economically disadvantaged and
socially marginalized populations while collectively rejecting institutional policies and traditional practices that reinforce the roots of economic and social discrimination.
Chapter authors, utilize a range of methodologies including empirical research, historical reviews, case studies and personal reflections to demonstrate that poverty and
class status are sociopolitical conditions, rather than individual identities. In addition, that education is an absolute human right and a powerful mechanism to promote
individual, national, and international upward social and economic mobility, national stability and citizen
wellbeing. |
