Social Justice: An Historical and Philosophical Perspective
Sharon Kay Stoll  

Abstract: Social justice in education concerns three questions: whom do we teach, what do we teach, and how do we teach? In this article the author briefly discusses social justice and its related concepts, its historical underpinnings, the social climate that brought about social change, and its effect on teaching physical activity. She also gives personal examples of how each of those factors affected her as a physical educator.
