Reviews

Overall, the publication makes a valuable, and frequently original, contribution to the field. The emphasis upon drawing on the voices and experiences of people through research who have been marginalized, and recognizing their experiences, is impressive. I believe this makes it a useful teaching aid, particularly at undergraduate level, where the focus upon lived experience will support skilful educators bring humanity to their teaching on topics such as theory and methodology. Likewise, researchers will benefit from considering the approaches to participatory research it explores and advocates. The book also offers insight to postgraduates and practitioners, particularly those who like me are encountering social justice in a new context.
