Positioning Diversity in Kenyan Schools: Teaching in the Face of Inequality and Discrimination

by Malve von Möllendorff

About this book

Malve von Möllendorff examines how Kenyan teachers experience and respond to diversity in schools. The study considers ethnicity, religion, gender and economic circumstances as features of everyday professional practice.

Through qualitative research, the book explores the ways school routines, teachers' interpretations and wider social histories affect inclusion and exclusion. Its focus is the practical tension between education's ambitions and the unequal conditions in which teaching takes place. Written for researchers and educators, it presents a sustained investigation of primary and secondary schooling rather than a children's textbook.
