Overview

Invites readers to undertake active leadership addressing equity in their own contexts. Aimed at educators and community members seeking to build an anti-racist society, this book examines lived teaching and researching experiences which illustrate and challenge the inequities that arise in classrooms with diverse student bodies. The authors draw on the constructs of intersectionality and complexity to examine complex issues of race, language variety, religious practice, educational background, social status, family relationships, institutional and local context and historical memory. Through honest and transparent reflection on actual experiences the book invites readers to bravely acknowledge the political and practical constraints they face, critically assess their own practice, and from this develop authentic pedagogies and relevant practical actions to better serve the communities within which they live and work. Readers seeking to build an anti-racist society will benefit from these inspirational narratives of courage in the face of inequities in daily life, classrooms and communities.
