Booknews

Researchers in education offer their views and perspectives on what guides them during their research and writing in the realms of equity, social justice, and power. They consider the interrelationship between their life experiences and the theoretical underpinnings they choose for their scholarship, discuss historical influences and professional decisions, and describe how the paradigms they use support their engagements in different analyses and debates. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
