Space, Identity and Education: Towards a Multi Scalar Framework

This book examines the ways in which multiple spatial scales intersect in the shaping of social justice issues in educational contexts. The authors create a framework for scaffolding and structuring analysis of the interrelation between space, identity, and education. Drawing on interdisciplinary work in the study of social justice in educational contexts, the authors reveal how this novel integration of scales is essential for a more complete and comprehensive understanding of educational inequalities. At a time of increasing interdisciplinarity, the twin dimensions of space and identity, discussed across multiple integrated spatial levels, provides an invaluable theoretical resource for scholars and students of education, sociology and geography.
