Social Justice and Education in the 21st Century: Research from South Africa and the United States

English | EPUB | 2021 | 416 Pages | ISBN : 3030654168 | 14 MB

The world is not an equal place. There are high- and low-income countries and high- and low-income households. For each group, there are differential educational opportunities, leading to differential educational outcomes and differential labor market opportunities. This pattern often reproduces the privileges and inequalities of groups in a society.

Education Reform in the Twenty-First Century

Education Reform in the Twenty-First Century: The Marketization of Teaching and Learning at a No-Excuses Charter School by Erinn Brooks
English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 202 Pages | ISBN : 3030611949 | 3 MB

“While much has been written about the education reform movement, few studies offer the view from the inside that Erinn Brooks brings us in this amazing book. And what a view! Brooks’ covert ethnography carefully documents the contradictions between equity and control in a ‘No-Excuses’ charter school and challenges the social justice rhetoric of education reform.”
—Christopher Lubienski, Professor of Education Policy, Indiana University, USA, and author of The Public School Advantage: Why Public Schools Outperform Private Schools (2013)

English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 241 Pages | ISBN : 3030416895 | 3 MB

“The author’s call to action- that it is incumbent on linguists to work towards societal change- is one we should heed. Hercula encourages linguists to refocus the introductory linguistics course to not only educate about how language works and how linguists study it, but to work more deeply to change attitudes towards stigmatized language varieties by in-depth investigation of those varieties, ensuring that everyone goes away with enduring understanding and a desire to change the world.” –Kristin Denham, Western Washington University, USA

A Manifesto for Ombudsman Reform

A Manifesto for Ombudsman Reform by Richard Kirkham
English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 170 Pages | ISBN : 3030406113 | 2.44 MB

This book seeks to persuade policy-makers and legislators of the need for legislative reform of the ombudsman sector, and to evidence the ways in which such reformative legislation can be designed. In pursuing this goal, this edited collection represents an academic response to a challenge laid down by the current Parliamentary Ombudsman in February 2018, at a JUSTICE event. It draws on the original research of the authors and bases its proposals for reform on a fundamental re-assessment of the focus and purpose of ombudsman systems.
