Book Synopsis

Peter Pericles Trifonas has assembled internationally acclaimed theorists and educational practitioners whose essays explore various constructions, representations, and uses of difference in educational contexts. These essays strive to bridge competing discourses of difference—for instance, feminist or anti-racist pedagogical models—to create a more inclusive education that adheres to principles of equity and social justice.
