New Spaces for Difference

New Spaces for Difference, Volume 1, explores the complex intersections of participation and transformative change in everyday life. This academic work in education theory brings together an international team of scholars to examine how individuals in marginalized positions engage in learning practices. Through critical ethnographic and participatory research conducted in Brazil, Denmark, and Italy, the text analyzes the experiences of socially excluded youth, former gang members, and other diverse groups.

The book challenges traditional views on equality and difference by applying social practice theory, critical psychology, and urban anthropology. By focusing on co-produced knowledge, New Spaces for Difference presents learning as a relational and political process. This volume serves as a scholarly resource for those studying education and teaching, schools and teaching, and related fields like human geography and social work.
