Promotional

"This comprehensive, timely and much-needed book provides critical discussion of 'Citizenship and Social Justice' through a focus on inclusivity and how complex perspectives and identities inter-relate in significant ways. The views on how citizenship can be framed, experienced and disrupted through the lens of Indigenous Peoples, refugees and other marginalised groups provide fresh insights at a critical time for the field. The diverse country case studies and explorations of connections between race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and citizenship are essential reading for those in working in education and related fields." (Associate Professor Libby Tudball, Monash University) "This international collaborative Handbook offers the best of contemporary thinking and writing concerning the interconnections between education for citizenship and social justice in relation to schooling and young people. The editors and contributing authors have done an exceptional job of capturing a wide range of themes, perspectives, and country-based examples while at the same time interrogating the intricate interplay of research, policy, and curricular practice in schooling contexts. This work is a very important addition to citizenship education literature and valuable reading for those educators committed to continuing the complex and multi-layered conversation that is characteristic of deep educational improvement." (Mark Evans, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada)
