Rural Education and Social Justice

About the Book Series

This series examines rural education from a social justice lens, with a focus on complex and intersectional identities, populations, and disciplines. The books in this series take note of and seek to remedy longstanding issues of educational inequity in rural schools, and share a commitment to dismantling white supremacist, monolingual, and heteronormative legacies influencing power dynamics of rural education research, governance, policy, and practice. It also addresses the complex ecosystem of rural schools and communities, illustrating rural diversity. Timely and compelling, the Rural Education and Social Justice series includes research, theory, and foundation readings for rural education scholars and practitioners.
