Research methods for social justice and equity in education

This volume offers researchers a full understanding of very important concepts, showing how they can be used as a means to develop practical strategies for undertaking research that makes a difference to the lives of marginalised and disadvantaged learners.

It explores different conceptualisations of social justice and equity, and leads the reader through a discussion of what their implications are for undertaking educational research that is both moral and ethical and how it can be enacted in the context of their chosen research method and a variety of others, both well-known and more innovative.

The authors draw on real, practical examples from a range of educational contexts, including early childhood, special and inclusive education and adult education, and cultures located in both western and developing nations in order to exemplify how researchers can use methods which contribute to the creation of more equitable education systems.
