Change Matters written by leading scholars committed to social justice in English education
provides researchers university instructors and preservice and inservice teachers with a
framework that pivots social justice toward policy. The chapters in this volume detail
rationales about generating social justice theory in what Freire calls «the revolutionary
process» through essays that support research about teaching about the intersections between
teaching for social change and teaching about social injustices and directs us toward the
significance of enacting social justice methodologies. The text unpacks how education
spiritual beliefs ethnicity age gender ability social class political beliefs marital
status sexual orientation gender expression language national origin and education
intersect with the principles by which we live and the multiple identities that we embody as we
move from space to space. This book is critical reading for anyone who strives to cease
inequitable schooling practices by conducting research in education to inform more just
policies.
