A career guidance for social justice must include many voices

Abstract

This article discusses the need to make the understanding of social justice in career guidance a collective task for professional communities. The article explores various understandings of social justice in career guidance and how these have been translated into frameworks for practice. Drawing on the theory of communities of practice, the article argues that a professional understanding of social justice could be developed through professional communities of practice with the aim of promoting a pluralism of understandings, not an ultimate consensus. Finally, the article presents a proposed model for such work.
