Abstract
The editors of Education as the Driving Force for Equity of the Marginalized (2022) explore the text for implications for teacher preparation. Authors of each chapter focus on a specific country and explore the role education has or can play in promoting equity. The impact of oppressive systems (societal forces that marginalize particular groups) is explored with a focus on how to mitigate such systems. Tseng et al.'s promotion for social change framework guided the editors' design and execution of this international text. Through qualitative meta-synthesis of the chapters, the editors have analyzed the book's content for themes that can be translated into actionable recommendations framed within the promotion for social change framework. These recommendations are targeted toward a range of education pre-college and higher education stakeholders.
