Opis

Emerging from a transnational framework, this book offers a global perspective on gender, sex and race research in education across global north and south. Drawing upon pedagogical, programmatic, and activist work with respect to challenging inequalities and injustices for young people, the authors interrogate the dominant discourses of sexuality, gender and race. Building off of a transnational Finnish-South African collaboration, this volume does not take a comparative approach but rather a transnational one by embracing the intersection of local and global knowledge. This transdisciplinary framework provides a critical and empathetic lens on the current challenges young South Africans and Finns face, with particular focus on violence, and specifically inequalities of class, race, gender, age, sexuality, ability, and health.
