Abstract
This article introduces the special topic issue “School Consultants as Agents of Social Justice: Implications for Practice.” In this overview, a brief history of recent developments in education and psychology as relates to social justice research and advocacy is provided and the argument is advanced that school consultants have much to contribute to this emerging social justice discourse. A brief overview of different definitions of social justice is provided and the guest editors provide their own definition, an adaptation of North's (2006) conceptualization, as a frame for this issue. Finally, a preview of each article within this issue is provided. Collectively, these writings provide multiple perspectives on ways in which a social justice orientation can be translated to effective consultation practice as well as advice for future directions.
