摘要：In the planning stages for this special issue, Wayne Bowman suggested that we probe the
theoretical complexities of social justice to deepen our philosophical foundations in ways that
might have a ¡°transformative and durable¡± impact on the music education profession. I took
this as an invitation to explore ways to ¡°socialize and justice(!)¡± music education,
theoretically and practically. While educators in other fields have made significant strides in
incorporating issues of social justice in their foundations and curricula, and while a few
music education theorists have labored to move us in this direction (e.g., Roberta Lamb, Julia
Koza, Elizabeth Gould, and Deborah Bradley), music education lags behind. Hence my plan
for this paper. First, I reflect on the concept of social justice in terms of several facets,
strands, or dimensions. Second, I discuss this concept in relation to selected social
movements. Third, I examine the work of two music educators/community musicians whose
efforts illustrate aspects of music education as-and-for social justice. Lastly, I offer some
suggestions for rethinking and ¡°practicizing¡± music teaching and learning as/for social
justice. (Due to space limitations, and with apologies to international readers, I usually take a
U.S. perspective on the issues and examples below).
