Vavrus incorporates specific education examples throughout the text to examine six contested areas: race and ethnicity; socioeconomic class and culture; multicultural and ethnic studies; language; religion; and sexuality and gender. In each of these areas, the author explores how contrasting worldviews found in social conservatism, liberal multiculturalism, and critical multiculturalism influence our understandings about difference and diversity and the educational policies we develop as a result. \u003ci\u003eDiversity and Education\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to help educators move beyond the “how can \u003ci\u003ethey\u003c\/i\u003e believe that?” knee-jerk reaction toward a more informed, strategic understanding of belief systems and political affiliations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrings a contemporary, 21st–century perspective to differing political orientations toward diversity and education.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines outcomes of diversity debates on children of color, the poor, immigrants, women, and sexual and religious minorities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses critical pedagogy with a historical and political economy lens to explain current diversity issues in education.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCritiques the diversity stance of new national teacher education standards from the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Michael Vavrus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43037249863782,"sku":"9780807756065","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4051\/5174\/files\/9780807756065.jpg?v=1771505056","url":"https:\/\/www.tcpress.com\/products\/diversity-and-education_9780807756065","provider":"Teachers College Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
