{"product_id":"the-oxford-handbook-of-social-justice-in-music-education-9780190886639","title":"The Oxford Handbook of Social Justice in Music Education","description":"Music education has historically had a tense relationship with social justice. One the one hand, educators concerned with music practices have long preoccupied themselves with ideas of open participation and the potentially transformative capacity that musical interaction fosters. On the other hand, they have often done so while promoting and privileging a particular set of musical practices, traditions, and forms of musical knowledge, which has in turn alienated and even excluded many children from music education opportunities. The Oxford Handbook of Social Justice in Music Education provides a comprehensive overview and scholarly analyses of the major themes and issues relating to social justice in musical and educational practice worldwide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first section of the handbook conceptualizes social justice while framing its pursuit within broader contexts and concerns. Authors in the succeeding sections of the handbook fill out what social justice entails for music teaching and learning in the home, school, university, and wider community as they grapple with cycles of injustice that might be perpetuated by music pedagogy. The concluding section of the handbook offers specific practical examples of social justice in action through a variety of educational and social projects and pedagogical practices that will inspire and guide those wishing to confront and attempt to ameliorate musical or other inequity and injustice. Consisting of 42 chapters by authors from across the globe, the handbook will be of interest to anyone who wishes to better understand what social justice is and why its pursuit in and through music education matters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cathy Benedict\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.50w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190886639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCathy Benedict\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor and Assistant Director of Research of Music Education at the Don Wright Faculty of Music, Western University, Canada. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatrick Schmidt\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor and Chair of Music Education at the Don Wright Faculty of Music, Western University, Canada. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGary Spruce\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Music Education at The Open University, United Kingdom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Woodford\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Music Education at the Don Wright Faculty of Music, Western University, Canada.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40008387657843,"sku":"9.78019E+12","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_27464a2d-92a9-46c5-9034-13ab33c0b0cf.jpg?v=1650385013","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-oxford-handbook-of-social-justice-in-music-education-9780190886639","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
