Many critical pedagogies aim to create conditions necessary for equity and social justice by focusing on difference as a central concept in educational reform. Yet selecting one type of difference as a focal point in teaching can easily give rise to the problem of competing distinctions, privileging one type of difference and marginalizing another. In this volume, the editor has assembled an internationally acclaimed group of theorists and educational practitioners whose essays articulate pedagogies of difference. These essays strive to bridge competing discourses of difference in order to create a more inclusive pedagogy of difference that adheres to principles of educational equity and education for social justice. The essays in this volume cover the spectrum of difference-oriented pedagogy, including feminist, anti-racist, lesbian, gay and critical pedagogy.

Industry Reviews

"Pedagogies of Difference provides an important set of statements about the complicated nature of the relations between education and differential power. But it also goes farther. It shows possibilities as well as limits, and in the process helps us envision a more socially just education." -- Michael W. Apple, John Bascom Professor of Education University of Wisconsin, Madison and author of Educating the "Right" Way
"Through eclectic models of inquiry, Pedagogies ofDifference rigorously reconceptualizes the link between difference and pedagogy as a precondition of refashioning democratic futures through teaching and learning. Here, the contributors rethink the inventive but also reifying particularities of difference, insisting upon an ethics of solidarity committed to a practical politics of educational equity and social justice." -- Warren Crichlow, co-editor of Race, Identity, and Representationin Education
