Schooling and educational leadership as the main protagonists in the social justice script? Unveiling the social justice discourses from an Actor-Network Theory lens Chapter 3. Problematizing equity in educational policy: An application of Bacchi’s post-structural analytical approach Chapter 4. Culturally responsive leadership: A case study of improving relations between Indigenous communities and schools; Richard Niesche Chapter 5. Concluding commentary; Ira BogotchReviewsThis important book interrogates key educational concepts of social justice, equity and inclusion through a thought-provoking and novel approach. Drawing on Actor Network Theory, Bacchi’s post structural analytical approach to policy, and empirical studies of Malta and Australia, it raises crucial questions and insights for theorising and conceptualising some of the most major but intractable issues in schooling today. -- Jane Wilkinson, Professor Educational Leadership, Faculty of Education, Monash University, Australia This book is essential reading for researchers and practitioners of social justice, equity and inclusion in education. It draws on insights and analysis from two of the critical field’s leading thinkers and researchers to interrogate and trouble assumptions that are commonly held or deployed about leading for social justice and equity in schools. This vital book represents a significant leap forward in our understanding of how schools work when they aim at practice and outcomes which are socially just and inclusive. The book is exemplary as a critical text in its expert theorisation of the landscape, mechanisms and outcomes of schooling—and leading—for social justice. Its dual, comparative focus on the cases of Malta and New South Wales, Australia is illuminating and incisive, and points the way to new ways of thinking internationally. -- Steven J.
