Abstract / Description
Chapter 1 opened a discussion on what is meant by social justice in education, and the issues involved in defining this, and what research directed towards this would look like. We identified different types of potential injustices, and the subsequent chapters examined various of these in turn, in a range of educational contexts, through the prisms of research directed towards finding policy initiatives that might counter the effects of particular inequities. But our contributors also noted that the notion of the public good was rarely defined, and was unlikely to be agreed on. This concluding chapter takes up this challenge, and seeks to examine what the public is, what the public good might be, and who should determine this. We then turn to the implications of this for the relationship between educational researchers working towards social justice and education policy makers.
