Children’s Right to Silence and Non-Participation in Education: Redefining Student Voice

This insightful book re-examines the concept of student voice through an exploration of children’s implicit right to silence and non-participation. By considering what remains unspoken, but voiced through silence, this book theorises silence through the lens of power.
