Case Studies on Diversity and Social Justice Education offers pre- and in-service educators the opportunity to analyze and reflect upon a variety of real-life scenarios related to educational equity and social justice. The accessibly written cases allow educators to practice considering a range of contextual factors, check their own biases, and make immediate and longer-term decisions about how to create and sustain equitable learning environments for all students.

Unique to this case study collection is a section of expert insights related to each case and a seven-point process for examining case studies. This framework guides readers through the process of identifying, examining, reflecting on, and taking concrete steps to resolve inequities and injustice in schools. Features of the third edition include:

  • Ten new case studies and updates to existing cases that reflect societal contexts
  • A series of questions to guide discussions for each case; and
  • A section of facilitator notes called "Points for Consideration" that provide valuable insight for understanding how inequity is operating in each case
  • The cases themselves present everyday examples of the ways in which racism, sexism, cisgenderism, homophobia and heterosexism, class inequities, language bias, religious-based oppression, and other equity and diversity concerns affect students, teachers, families, and other members of our school communities. They involve classroom, school, and district issues that are relevant to all grade levels and content areas, allowing significant flexibility in how and with whom they are used.
