Education for Social Justice by Laura Chapman

No Marketing Blurb
‘This is a book which will stimulate debate, disagreement and the questioning of personal positions, and for that reason I would imagine that it could be used fruitfully with undergraduate or Masters-level students of education... [and] contains stimulating insights and advances a strong point of view... The book has eleven chapters, and these deal successively with topics such as marginalization, discrimination, health and balance, the relationship between physical activity and emotional well-being, and happiness' -- ESCalate
"A wide variety of research and other studies is referenced throughout the book, with key messages for practitioners indicated."Aspect Improvement
