Why is social justice important, and why does social justice matter? Social justice has reached the collective consciousness in recent years, with celebrities and politicians alike wading into issues of inequality and discrimination. Refugee crises, access to health care, racial injustice, discrimination, and disparities are just some of the problems that are regularly in the headlines and in private discussions today. It's been a long time coming. For decades, these sensitive issues have mostly been swept under the rug, considered too controversial for the general public. Those who dared to stand up and protest were either silenced or ostracized. Think of the initial reaction to Colin Kaepernick's protest against police brutality, and the subsequent damage done to his athletic career - and this happened far too recently. Only now have phrases like, anti racism, equity over equality, implicit bias, white privilege and black rights become a mainstream part of our vocabulary and consciousness. But awareness is just the first step. A better understanding of these issues and their causes is needed to address and ultimately resolve them. If you're serious about making the world a fairer and more just place, you'll first need to comprehend how and why injustice is so prevalent and ingrained in our society. In this in-depth discussion of social justice, you'll find a broad analysis of the big issues, as well as new insights that will challenge your understanding of what justice really means. In Understanding Social Justice, you will discover: An extensive look at the roots of social justice, the relevant issues of today, and its lasting impact on society Important concepts and ideas around social justice that every single person should understand and internalize 9 types of oppression people are still experiencing today and the laws that seek to protect people from these abuses How governments can improve and expand access to basic needs like food, education, and healthcare, so that we can build a society where everyone can thrive Why equity and equality are not the same things - and which goal we should be striving for A roadmap for individuals, businesses, and governments in addressing social justice issues in their own way How countries around the world address social justice issues and which ones are worth emulating And much more. Even if you're not an activist, a politician, or a public figure, you can still make a difference. By knowing that biased and discriminatory systems exist and recognizing your part in them, you can do your part in slowly dismantling them through your words and actions. The world still has a long way to go before we see the end of bias and we can say that social justice has been achieved, but as more people realize its urgency, that time will hopefully come sooner rather than later. If you want to join the fight for social change and true equity, then scroll up and grab your copy of Understanding Social Justice now.

Exploring Social Justice in Practice in Education focuses on the tensions and challenges to issues of fairness and social and cognitive justice in the sphere of education. The terms ‘fairness’ and ‘social and cognitive justice’ are often used to justify particular policies and practices in the sphere of education. In providing a clear definition of what they should mean in practice, this book includes a discussion of, and, in some cases, potential resolutions to, tensions and challenges in relation to notions of fairness, and social and cognitive justice that are implicit within individuals’ lived experiences across all phases of education. Through their personal narratives, the authors illustrate how such tensions and challenges have played out in their own lives. They go on to explore differences in interpretations and consequent challenges in putting concepts of social justice into practice. Chapters consider important implications across different sectors and phases of education, including special educational needs, leadership and higher education. This insightful volume will enable educators, at all levels, to hear from students, family members, significant adults/carers and professionals, their experiences of fairness and social justice in education, and about what could be done in the future to redress injustices. It will appeal to readers at all levels in education including those studying for or teaching Education-related degrees at bachelors’, masters’ and doctoral levels.
