Embedding Social Justice in Teacher Education and Development in Africa
This book explores the plethora of social-justice issues facing teacher education and development in Africa.Using both theoretical and empirical perspectives, it considers the need for teacher education to be transformational and address conventional pedagogy as well as the rights and duties of all citizens. The edited volume focuses on a wide range of relevant aspects, such as decolonisation, economic models, environmental concerns, as well as multilingual and multicultural aspects of education.Evidence-based chapters cover strategies used to support preservice and in-service teachers on how best to tackle issues of social justice through induction activities, pedagogy and discipline content, involving local communities, and the role of technology, including the use of open educational resources.The principles underlying these strategies are being used in the COVID-19 pandemic and will be equally relevant in the post-COVID-19 world.This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of teacher education, African education, educational policy, international education and comparative education.

Gender Justice, Education and Equality : Creating Capabilities for Girls' and Women's Development
This book reframes gender and education issues from a feminist and capabilities perspective through a multi-generational study of women as teachers.It explores how different understandings of gender, equality and education generate a variety of approaches with which to pursue gender equality in education.Through employing the capabilities approach in a critical and innovative way to question justice, agency and well-being and also to evaluate valued functionings and capabilities, freedoms and lack of opportunities in women’s lives in Turkey it highlights the need for constructing a gender-just society.The book takes a closer look at these women’s memories, in order to understand how gender roles were created, negotiated and contested, and how the transition to modern ways of socialising and existing was shaped and women’s emancipation was guided by women teachers as social actors, rather than as passive onlookers or oppressed individuals.It provides important insights and critical evidence to be used in the planning and implementation of education and social/gender policies.

'Revenge or Justice?'
Revenge is driven by a desire to inflict harm or suffering on someone in response to a perceived wrongdoing, often without consideration for fairness or due process. Justice, on the other hand, is about restoring balance and fairness by holding individuals accountable for their actions through a fair and impartial legal process. While revenge may provide temporary satisfaction, it often perpetuates a cycle of harm and does not address the root causes of the conflict. Justice, on the other hand, seeks to address the underlying issues and promote healing and reconciliation. Ultimately, justice is a more sustainable and constructive approach to resolving conflicts and addressing wrongdoing.

Education and Social Justice in Japan
This book is an up-to-date critical examination of schooling in Japan by an expert in this field.It focuses on developments in the last two decades, with a particular interest in social justice.Japan has experienced slow economic growth, changed employment practices, population decline, an aging society, and an increasingly multi-ethnic population resulting from migration.It has faced a call to respond to the rhetoric of globalization and to concerns in childhood poverty in the perceived affluence.In education we have seen developments responding to these challenges in national and local educational policies, as well as in school-level practices. What are the most significant developments in schooling of the last two decades?Why have these developments emerged, and how will they affect youth and society as a whole?How can we best interpret social justice implications of these developments in terms of both distributive justice and the politics of difference?To what extent have the shifts advanced the interests of disadvantaged groups?This book shows that, compared to three decades ago, the system of education increasingly acknowledges the need to address student diversity of all kinds, and delivers options that are more varied and flexible.But interest in social justice in education has tended to centre on the distribution of education (who gets how much of schooling), with fewer questions raised about the content of schooling that continues to advantage the already advantaged.Written in a highly accessible style, and aimed at scholars and students in the fields of comparative education, sociology of education and Japanese studies, this book illuminates changing policies and cumulative adjustments in the daily practice of schooling, as well as how various groups in society make sense of these changes.

Nancy Fraser, Social Justice and Education
The American scholar and activist Nancy Fraser has written about a wide range of issues in social and political theory, and is well-known for her philosophical perspectives on democratic theory and on feminist theory.Her work on justice and identity politics has been particularly widely cited, and she has also been active in developing a ‘feminism for the 99%’.Although education has not been a direct focus for much of her work, her thinking has been widely disseminated within the critical study of education.This volume illustrates the way in which education researchers have taken up and developed Fraser’s theories in the areas of alternative education, higher education, inclusion and disability, and the effects of neoliberalism upon public (state) education, as they ask how social justice within the education system can be enhanced.These insightful essays cover a range of countries and topics, as the authors work with Fraser’s concepts, to argue for the development of a more equitable education system.The chapters in this book were originally published as articles in Taylor and Francis journals.

Is justice an illusion?
Justice is not necessarily an illusion, but rather a complex and often imperfect concept. While the idea of justice may vary depending on cultural, social, and individual perspectives, it remains a fundamental principle in many legal systems. However, the pursuit of justice can be hindered by biases, inequalities, and systemic injustices, leading some to question its true existence. Despite these challenges, efforts to promote fairness, equality, and accountability are essential in striving towards a more just society.

Can justice be bought?
Justice should not be something that can be bought. It is meant to be fair and impartial, based on the principles of right and wrong. All individuals should have equal access to justice, regardless of their financial status. When justice can be bought, it undermines the integrity of the legal system and can lead to unequal treatment under the law.
