Title: Discourses and Practices That Pluralize Social Justice
Abstract: It is clear from the previous chapters that social justice needs to be conceptualized in a more plural way for it to be relevant to rural schools. It is also clear that social context, structures, and subjectivities inform what social justice is. The chapter examines possibilities for social change in rural education. It begins by looking at the idea of hope and what this might look like in rural spaces. It continues by offering ways in which participants make plural social justice possible through their discourses and practices. How they resist, challenge, and re-shape the pressures and constraints of neoliberalism in education and societal inequalities at large in their school contexts. It concludes with final reflections on the meaning of social justice in rural schools.
