"Amplifying students’ and youth’s voices in education research" is a powerful reminder of the humanity at the heart of education. Through the lived experiences and firsthand narratives of students, this book challenges long-held assumptions and invites readers to rethink how we address the needs of learners. By showcasing perspectives from varied contexts and using innovative research methods, it presents a compelling vision for a more effective and student-centered educational system.

Given the persistent inequities and injustices in educational environments around the world, it becomes important to learn from the minoritized and marginalized communities that have suffered and endured such positions. To this end, educational research has a duty to amplify the voices of students and educators to bring these situations to light to bring awareness to the rest of their communities and to hopefully inform changes that better serve these students and educators.
This edited volume includes empirical research that has aimed at amplifying marginalized and minoritized students’ and educators’ voices by examining counter-narratives, testimonios, pláticas or other similar methods. The chapters in this unprecedented volume include research conducted around the world and address important issues concerning students and educators, including public policy, special education, teacher effectiveness, culturally responsive and sustaining mentoring practices, learning disabilities, juvenile justice system, among others.
This volume is aimed at anyone interested in equity in higher education and education research and can be used as a reference for research that has actively and consciously included teacher and student voices around the world.
