    Based on the premise that narratives hold power and affect how people view themselves and Others, Essays on Exclusionbrings together diverse disciplinary scholars, in education and beyond, to illuminate the promise of understanding how stories about one's Self, and their juxtaposition to those that are Othered, influence how inclusion/exclusion operate in and outside schools. From philosophers to pre-service teachers, readers of this volume will learn more complex and nuanced perspectives toward exclusion often relegated to the margins, but no less important when pursing equity in various social contexts such as schools. By the end of the book readers will be more familiar with an understanding of equity and exclusion through a holistic view by becoming more attentive to intersectional analyses in their approach toward equity. Coming from a standpoint that exclusion, oppression, and marginalization become instituted as a function of certain positionalities being valued more than others, Essays on Exclusion draws on diverse narratives that are important in understanding how to operationalize equity starting from recognizing people's positionalities being subjected to exclusion. This volume is appropriate for foundation courses in philosophy, education, or cultural studies, as well as higher level graduate courses focused on urban education and equity more broadly.

  • by David W Jardine
    £31.49

    "Asleep in my Sunshine Chair" is a collection of essays by noted Canadian scholar David W. Jardine. It includes philosophical, practical and poetic reflections on the nature of interpretive work and its especial importance to matters of education and study, in and out of schools. It blends scholarly considerations of Buddhist, ecological and hermeneutic sources with classroom examples, and reflections on how to maintain ourselves in these ecologically desperate times of distraction, affliction, and the manipulation and deliberate exhaustion of considered, careful attention to our lived circumstances. A good sourcebook for courses on interpretive research, philosophy of education and the exigencies of schooling.

  • - Envisioning the Good Life in an Era of Extremism
    by Andrea B Rugh
    £34.49

  • - Blackness, Indigeneity and Hip Hop
     
    £34.49

    This volume is a pause, an attempt to create a cartography of the ever-shifting and ever-changing process of métissagebetween Blackness, Indigeneity and Hip-Hop. In essence, the volume is an ode to Hip-Hop, a gesture of love and an acknowledgement of that beautiful circle in and around which Blackness and Indigeneity meet by the grace of Hip-Hop. In and around that circle, Hip-Hop emerges as a site of identification and investment; that is, how and why Indigenous and Black youth are investing so heavily in Hip-Hop. As forms of worlding, Hip-Hop encodes processes and practices within the spoken words, the arrangement of bodies and beats- to choreograph consent- a practice inherent in the cypher. The volume brings innovative criticality to the intersections of Hip-Hop, Blackness and Indigeneity. These intersections are rarely explored and this volume is a rare attempt to explore how and why Hip-Hop emerges as a site of identification and investment for Black and Indigenous people, especially the young, as they journey in their social, historical and political struggle.
