As a diverse, interdisciplinary group of scholars, drawing from experience in 12 countries, contributors to this volume share an anti-oppressive stance and have utilized an array of theories and research strategies to counter the persistent and growing number of exclusions in education - based on race, class, gender, ethnicity, language, dis/ability, sexual orientation, and citizenship status. Authors include education researchers, teacher educators, and theorists who have worked for many years on issues of social and educational inclusion and empowerment of groups which have been marginalized and share a focus on pedagogy, policy, and professional development of teachers. Contributing authors share a deep commitment to naming ways in which social exclusion has diminished the educational and life chances of many students in our various sites of work and regions of the world - and to moving the discourse and action beyond pedagogies of exclusion to a more visionary and inclusive praxis.
