Nancy Fraser and Participatory Parity

Reframing Social Justice in South African Higher Education

Herausgegeben: Bozalek, Vivienne; Hölscher, Dorothee; Zembylas, Michalinos

Beschreibung

Nancy Fraser and Participatory Parity provides a philosophical framework based on the work of Nancy Fraser, examining how her ideas can be used to analyse contemporary issues in higher education and reimagine higher education practices. Providing a forum for considering Fraser's work in relation to participatory parity in higher education, the book shows how her political philosophy is relevant to higher education pedagogies, scholarship and practice.

The recent student protests in South Africa in 2015 and 2016 has created an impetus to think about how to do things differently in higher education in response to economic, cultural and political inequities. This South African experience is aptly used as a prime example of rethinking issues of coloniality and social injustice in higher education. The contributors' use of Nancy Fraser's theories provides their analyses and reflections with a particularly sharp lens and clear focus. The book also puts her work into conversation with other contemporary writers on social justice and explores the resonances and differentiations of the various approaches.

This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of social justice in education and educational policy.

Rezensionen

"Not only does this volume, using the rich framework of Nancy Fraser's work, provide trenchant analyses of the injustices of the South African system of higher education. It also provides a brilliant and appreciative summary of Fraser's evolving theory of justice as participatory parity. Because Fraser is one of the most important political thinkers of her generation, this practical application of her work is an essential guide to contemporary praxis."

Joan Tronto, Professor Emerita, Department of Political Science, University of Minnesota

"Drawing from Fraser's powerful multidimensional justice framework, this collection provides much needed theorisation, insight and analyses of higher education, exploring the dynamic inter-relationship between, within and across economic, cultural, political and ecological injustices. Providing forms of critique that are imperative for reimagining and reframing higher education structures, practices and deeply embedded inequalities, this outstanding collection will contribute to transformative justice in the context of South Africa and beyond. It is a must read for all those committed to equity and social justice in higher education. "
