Nurturing ‘Difficult Conversations’ in Education : Empowerment, Agency and Social Justice in the UK

This book offers critical discussion on the necessity for 'difficult conversations' to take place in education, drawing on studies from across the UK. The chapters cover a range of topics including: supporting children with SEND, parent and carer engagement, childhood trauma, race, disability, the climate emergency, research methods and draw on the theoretical work of Linda Martin Alcoff, Maurice Blanchot, Paulo Freire, and Maureen Lipman. The contributors argue against the prevailing deficit-based perspectives about marginalized communities and students, and invite deep thinking about the nature of oppression and the complicity of many education professionals in it--
