One of the biggest challenges facing educational thinking and doing today, is an engagement with difference that contributes to social justice as a rational, political project. In this sense, the interplay between multiculturalism, inclusivity, human rights and social justice at all levels of the education system and within various forms of educational spaces, is of great importance.
Against this background, this special edition called for papers that engage with the following sub-themes. This editorial indicates how the contributors responded to these sub-themes: 1. The educational expression, practical and theoretical, of the link between human rights, social justice and inclusivity. 2. New forms of pedagogical formations and arrangements that engages with the interplay between human rights, inclusivity and social justice in education.3. The development of productive interpretive schemes for analysing the interaction between social justice, human rights and inclusivity in education.
As guest editors of this special edition, we hope to have made a contribution to scholarship by publishing these high quality contributions in a journal from the global South in the face of overt and covert efforts at marginalising such journals.
