Special Edition
Shapeshifting for Survival and Social Justice
This special theme issue of The Educational Justice Journal seeks to explore the multidimensional nature of shapeshifting, particularly through the lens of identity development within contested spaces and across time. Drawing on the works of Bourdieu (1986) and Yosso (2005), we examine how cultural and social capital play pivotal roles in who is afforded the ability to shapeshift and who is systematically denied that capacity due to racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, and other intersecting forms of discrimination.
