Handbook of Research on Social Justice and Equity in Education

There is growing pressure on teachers and other educators to understand and adopt the best ways to work with diverse groups of races, cultures, and languages. Establishing sound cross-cultural pedagogy is critical given that racial, cultural, and linguistic integration has the potential to increase academic success for all learners.

The handbook chapters highlight cross-cultural perspectives, challenges, and opportunities related to promoting cultural competence, equity, and social justice in education, as well as other pertinent topics such as acceptable social justice practices and effective diversity and multicultural education. This handbook is an essential collection for teacher educators, academicians, students, researchers, and librarians. Further, this handbook will benefit school administrators, faculty, teachers, and stakeholders interested in socio-cultural issues, perspectives, and trends in diversity education, cross-cultural competence, equity, and social justice in education.
