Description
Summary:The article discusses two approaches to social and cultural studies in education, with one being a socio-historical perspective and the other emphasizing participatory action research (PAR). The approaches compare research and knowledge gained from formal and informal settings such as the formal institution of a school and the informal street corner when looking at the education and representation of marginalized or disenfranchised social groups. The author draws from his own personal research at the Social Justice Education Project (SJEP) in Tucson, Arizona and then introduces and connects the research and analysis of the other authors in the issue.
