Communicating social justice in teacher education : insights from a critical classroom ethnography / Aubrey Huber.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Evolving out of a rich, two-year ethnographic study, this text examines how ideas of social justice are articulated and communicated to pre-service teachers in the US. By positing the concept of "help" as central tenet of social justice within teacher education, this volume offers a unique performative analysis of how the concept is communicatively constituted in teacher education and training. Using a social justice framework, the book examines the ways in which new teachers contend with their identities as educators, and demonstrates how these communicative performances influence pre-service teachers' perceptions of their role, as well as their responsibility to engage with social justice and critical approaches in the classroom.
