Teacher Education for Diversity (eBook, ePUB)

Conversations from the Global South
Redaktion: Walton, Elizabeth; Osman, Ruksana

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Foregrounding the diversity that characterises various educational settings, this book discusses how histories and geographies of oppression, exclusion and marginalisation have impacted on teacher education. Contributors draw on first-hand experiences of living and working in countries including Brazil, China, South Africa, New Zealand and Malawi.

Positioned in a geographical and metaphorical 'Global South', the book draws critical attention to debates which have been otherwise marginalised in relation to those conducted in the 'Global North'. Chapters address difference and diversity on both a conceptual and empirical level, acknowledging the significance of various global trends including increased migration and urbanisation; and broadening understandings of race, religion, gender, sexuality and dis/ability. Taken together, these chapters reveal the extent of the work which still remains to be done in the field of teacher education for diversity.

The issues discussed are of global significance, making this text key reading for teachers, teacher educators, and those concerned with the advancement of social justice and reduction of inequality through education.
