Paul C. Gorski, Series Editor

The Equity and Social Justice in Education series, previously published by W.W. Norton, is a publishing home for books that apply critical and transformative equity and social justice theories to the work of on-the-ground educators.

Books in the series describe meaningful solutions to the racism, white supremacy, economic injustice, sexism, hetero-sexism, transphobia, ableism, neoliberalism, and other oppressive conditions that pervade schools and school districts.

Critics' Reviews for the Series

Literacy for All

"More than a simple how-to, the book is a conversation that asks you to dig and then keep digging. Grounded in scholarship, while remaining utterly approachable, Literacy for All will help you peel back the layers of your instruction, question who is best being served, and challenge you to do better."

- Christopher Lehman, Founding Director, The Educator Collaborative

Teaching Asian America in Elementary Classrooms

"Teaching Asian America in Elementary Classrooms is a critically important book that I wish my son's teachers had read. If you teach Asian American children or want to understand Asian American education at the elementary level, you need this incredible book."

- Wayne Au, Professor, UW Bothell School of Educational Studies and Rethinking Schools editor

Social Studies for a Better World

"No one should step into a classroom without first reading Social Studies for a Better World. The book sings with possibility about creating classrooms of justice and kindness. It is the book that all teachers need in these hard times."

- Bill Bigelow, Curriculum Editor, Rethinking Schools

Public School Equity

"Whitaker has constructed a powerhouse book that every leader in prekindergarten-12 schools should read. A resource about the intersectional nature of cognition and behavior, this book is transformative for the individual and the collective."

- H. Richard Milner IV, Cornelius Vanderbilt Distinguished Professor of Education, author of Start Where You Are but Don’t Stay There

Learning and Teaching While White

"Yes! A nuanced and accessible resource for white teachers who have consistently asked, ‘What do I do?’ This excellent book answers that question, from two highly experienced white teachers who have been engaged in the work of anti-racist practice for decades. This is an essential guidebook that needs to be on every white teacher's shelf."

- Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility and Nice Racism

Equity-Centered Trauma-Informed Education

"This is the book on trauma-informed education I've been waiting for. Practical and inspirational, affirming and challenging, patient and urgent, Venet invites us to consider the political dimensions of trauma and healing, correctly steering us away from savior narratives of damage and rescue and instead toward dreams of collective well-being and justice."

- Carla Shalaby, author of Troublemakers: Lessons in Freedom from Young Children at School

Ableism in Education

"Ableism in Education provides a necessary counternarrative to the lives of disabled students and their families. Education scholar Gillian Parekh writes of how ableism as an ideology serves to structure the ways in which we think of, and work with, students who present as not having met predetermined indicators of social and intellectual development...A must read for educators, clinicians and parents."

- Carl E. James, author of Colour Matter: Essays on the Experiences, Education, and Pursuits of Black Youth
