Social exclusivity or justice for all? Access to justice in the fourteenth century

REA Auditado

The outlaw, residing in the idyllic ‘wood of Belregard’, is a powerful and evocative image in medieval literature. Embodying a strong sense of social justice and imbued with utopian qualities, both the outlaw figure and the greenwood can be taken to symbolise the aspirations, or perhaps more appropriately the plight, of those who had no apparent prospect of ‘justice’, either through lack of access to the legal system or on account of their treatment within it.

Investigating the influences of social studies methods courses on preservice teachers with a focus on issues of diversity and social justice: three case studies

REA Auditado

Abstract
Issues of diversity and social justice are critical for teacher education as the student
population in the United States becomes increasingly diverse ethnically, racially, socially, and
linguistically. It has been traditionally assumed that social studies, more than other curricular
areas, should deal with these issues, especially in raising good citizens. A review of the research
on social studies methods courses, however, indicates that few studies have examined the impact
of social studies methods courses on student teaching practices.

Elementary principals’ conceptions of response to intervention and socially just educational practices

REA Auditado

With the reauthorization of IDEA in 2004, Response to Intervention (RtI) has become the latest educational reform that promises to transform schools. Through the lens of social justice, this phenomenological study explored if and how principals’ conceptions of RtI inform the use of socially just practices in their schools. By interviewing 10 elementary school principals in Illinois, the research explored the following research questions: (a) What are principals’ understandings of RtI? (b) What educational practices do principals believe promote social justice?

Exploring the associations between racial identity attitudes and social justice outcomes in African American college students: a mixed methods investigation

REA Auditado

Recent quantitative research provides empirical support for the relation between racial identity attitudes and a range of sociocultural and psychological outcomes; however, there is a paucity of research examining these associations using qualitative and mixed methods approaches (Lyons, Bike, Johnson, & Bethea, 2012).

The democratic vision of teaching literature: preschool bilingual children’s reading of literature with social justice

REA Auditado

In spite of the contributions of previous studies about children’s literature, there is still a startling lack of knowledge about how children’s literature that deals with racial/cultural diversity can be incorporated into preschool and bilingual children’s classrooms. In order to address this gap in the research, this qualitative case study examined how literature with social justice themes can be employed as a tool to help preschool bilingual children develop their emergent notions about racial diversity and social justice.

Development’s Denial of Social Justice

REA Auditado

Resistance to criticism in the field of development has prevented systemic change and has led to a denial of social justice. This has been a function of the language of development; establishment control over forms of critical discourse; selective crises reportage; and normal scientific behavior. Following Popper (1970), these defenses should be lowered so that bold alternative conjectures concerning social injustice can be set against prevailing orthodoxies.
