Faith Diversity and Education

<p>This volume explores how conservative Christian schools are shaping education in America and in turn students’ attitudes about diversity. </p><p></p><p>Based on data collected as part of a year-long ethnographic study of a K-12 conservative Christian school in the South this volume analyzes the way that diversity was thought about and acted upon in a school and how these decisions affected students and teachers across racial differences. The book demonstrates that conservative Christian theology defined a school’s diversity efforts. It also reveals the complexity of addressing diversity in a context that is largely wary of it at least in its typical secular usage. The findings presented in the book raise important questions about school vouchers the influence of religious beliefs on educators’ decision-making in schools the morality and existence of Christian schools and diversity initiatives in white spaces. </p><p></p><p>Faith Diversity and Education: An Ethnography of a Conservative Christian School<b> </b>will be of great interest to researchers academics and postgraduate students in the fields of education sociology and religion.</p>
