Abstract: This book focuses on themes such as inclusion in action, schooling during challenging times, engaging teaching spaces, social justice standpoints, student/teacher agency, preservice teacher voices, criticality in educative spaces and children and agency. It provides a lens into educational contexts that fuel or hinder human flourishing. This book explores a range of social justice themes through the power of learning spaces, institutional educative standpoints and teaching approaches. Cultural, social and economic injustices that perpetuate cycles of disadvantage and oppressive narratives are also examined and discussed. This book celebrates, critiques, and reimagines different theoretical frameworks that underpin equitable and inclusive educative landscapes. Attention is directed towards building the capacities of educators to understand and respond to national and global factors that impact on emancipatory education. This book is a 'Call to Action' for educators to stand in the shoes of our least advantaged learners and communities, and the chapter authors embody and enact a political and moral mindset that privileges all voices in respectful and proactive ways. It highlights how transformative learning spaces are made up of educators who understand the importance of engaging in scholarly reflection and practice.
