Learning, Identity, and Difference Mary Darmanin`s Inspiration

Learning, Identity, and Difference: Mary Darmanin’s Inspiration brings together important contributions to the large area of Sociology of Education and around themes of social and ecological difference. It also foregrounds identity issues in an intersectional manner, covering social class, gender (including sexual orientation and women’s studies), race/ethnicity, and the politics of enablement. Featuring chapters on topics such as promoting gender equality, challenging classist discourse through critical pedagogies, and transforming education through neuroscience, as well as a contribution by Mary Darmanin herself, this important volume champions and highlights the importance of approaching identity issues in a sensitive way that supports and nurtures students in their learning.
