Dr. Thompson drew upon his recent work to suggest that efforts towards a theory of a distinctively educational kind of justice allows educational research to more fully capture the essence of its subject, and allows that body of work to offer substantive contributions to other (purportedly, non-educational) fields of study, such as politics.
