Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A volume in Urban Education Studies SeriesSeries Editors Nicholas D. Hartlep, Illinois State University,Thandeka K. Chapman, University of California, San Diego and Kenny Varner, Louisiana State UniversityIn urban education, 'urban' is a floating signifier that is imbued with meaning, positive or negative by its users. 'Urban'can be used to refer to both the geographical context of a city and a sense of 'less than,' most often in relation to race and/or socioeconomic status (Watson, 2011). For Noblit and Pink (2007), 'Urban, rather, is a generalization as much aboutgeography as it is about the idea that urban centers have problems: problems of too many people, too much poverty, toomuch crime and violence, and ultimately, too little hope' (p. xv). Recently, urban education scholars such as Anyon(2005), Pink and Noblit (2007), Blanchett, Klinger and Harry (2009), and Lipman (2013) have elucidated the socialconstruction of oppression and privilege for urban students, teachers, schools, families, and communities usingintersectionality theories. Building on their work, we see the need for an edited collection that would look across the different realms of urban education-theorizingidentity markers in urban education, education in urban schools and communities, thinking intersectionally in teacher education & higher education, educational policies& urban spaces-seeking to better understand each topic using an intersectional lens. Such a collection might serve to conceptually frame or provide methodologicaltools, or act as a reference point for scholars and educators who are trying to address urban educational issues in light of identities and power. Secondly, we argue thateducation questions and/or problems beg to be conceptualized and analyzed through more than one identity axis. Policies and practices that do not take into accounturban students' intertwining identity markers risk reproducing patterns of privilege and oppression, perpetuating stereotypes, and failing at the task we care most deeplyabout: supporting all students' learning across a holistic range of academic, personal, and justice-oriented outcomes.Can educational policies and practices address the social justice issues faced in urban schools and communities today We argue that doing intersectional research andimplementing educational policies and practices guided by these frameworks can help improve the 'fit.' Particular attention needs to be paid to intersectionality as a lensfor educational theory, policy, and practice. As urban educators we would be wise to consider the intertwining of these identity axes in order to better analyze educationalissues and engage in teaching, learning, research, and policymaking that are better-tuned to the needs of diversestudents, families, and communities.

In urban education, "urban"is a floating signifier that is imbued with meaning, positive or negative by its users.

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
