Law and Social Justice in Higher Education
«
"Law and Social Justice in Higher Education explores the juxtaposition between law and society in higher education with an emphasis on the evolution of social justice both as a political concept and as a transformative resource. This book’s exploration of the experiences of particular sectors of society--especially minorities, women, and people with disabilities-- significantly contributes to both the scholarship of social justice and the responsibilities of higher education to motivate and foster change."
-Cheryl Crazy Bull, President and CEO, American Indian College Fund
"Chambers’ Law and Social Justice in Higher Education contributes substantially to the field of higher education and to critical discourses that address underlying challenges of race, gender, and class disparity in America and its colleges and universities. Reading this compelling book reminds me why I agreed to start this book series on core issues in higher education."
-From the Series Editor Introduction by Edward P. St. John, Algo D. Henderson Collegiate Professor, University of Michigan
