Educational inequalities have strongly impacted disadvantaged and underserved populations such us indigenous, Roma, migrant children, students with disabilities, and those affected by poverty. A wide array of research has contributed to explaining the mechanisms and effects of inequalities in the achievement patterns, dropout rates, disengagement in the school experiences of children and youth traditionally excluded. Research also suggests the negative consequences for child development – including cognitive, language, and social–emotional functioning – of poverty and lack of quality education in the early years. Consequently, the current unequal access to optimal learning environments for every single child to succeed in education and to have a better life perpetuates the exclusion and neglects the right to education for those minorities. This Research Topic aims at moving beyond causes and shed light upon effective solutions by providing successful pathways for integration and inclusion of the learners most heavily affected. Scholars worldwide are looking for successful actions with children, youth, and communities of learners historically underserved to overcome educational and social exclusion. These transformative approaches go beyond the deficit thinking and are grounded in theories, empirical evidence, and multidisciplinary interventions oriented towards achieving social impact, which refers to the extent to which those actions have contributed to improve a societal challenge. The international network of “Schools as Learning Communities” is advancing knowledge on deepening and expanding the impact of what has been defined as Successful Educational Actions (SEAs); that is, those interventions that improve students’ achievement and social cohesion and inclusion in many diverse contexts, regardless the socioeconomic, national, and cultural environment of schools. Drawing on the evidence generated by this network of researchers to address the global challenge of inequality by studying educational actions oriented towards achieving social impact and potentially transferrable to other contexts, this Research Topic aims at deepening on this approach. In short, our purpose is that the contributions included in this Research Topic contribute to reduce educational and social inequalities and especially benefit those populations most in need.

Climate change and urban development threaten health, undermine coping and deepen existing social and environmental inequities. A changing global environment requires transformative social responses: new partnerships, deep engagement with local communities, and innovations to strengthen individual and collective assets. The chapters of this proposed edited volume will be contributed mainly by established and emerging scholars from individuals, representing social work, sociology, development studies, law, government, social anthropology, urbanism, The chapters of this proposed edited volume will be contributed mainly by established and emerging scholars from individuals representing social work, sociology, development studies, public policy, and other social sciences This book is to be used for academics, policy makers, social work students, lecturers and other stakeholders to promote advocacy for vulnerable client groups affected by Climate Change. It gives some measure of hope and make the invisible visible to change.

Quatrième de couverture : "Qui sont les personnes vulnérables, à quoi sont-elles vulnérables en matière d'essais cliniques et comment sont-elles protégées par le droit européen ? Au détriment d'une véritable définition, la vulnérabilité en droit est principalement appréhendée par la désignation de catégories vulnérables dont les caractéristiques communes soulèvent des interrogations. Pourquoi les personnes âgées ne font-elles pas partie des catégories vulnérables ? Pourquoi assimiler les femmes enceintes à des personnes inaptes à défendre leurs intérêts ? En quoi les patients atteints de maladie orpheline pourraient-ils être assimilés à une catégorie vulnérable en matière d'essais cliniques ? Comment qualifier les participants recrutés dans les pays en développement ? Les expérimentations abusives de l'histoire ont provoqué une réaction inverse consistant à exclure catégoriquement les personnes vulnérables des essais cliniques, dans un but initialement bienveillant. Cette bienveillance ne permet cependant plus de justifier l'impact néfaste de cette exclusion sur la qualité des soins de santé pour les personnes vulnérables. Afin de clarifier ces contradictions, permises par le caractère nécessairement relatif du concept de vulnérabilité, cette thèse propose de distinguer différents types de risques (pour l'autonomie d'une part, pour la santé d'autre part) et différentes perspectives (individuelle et collective), conduisant à la mise en valeur de deux prismes d'analyse : la vulnérabilité décisionnelle du participant vulnérable et la vulnérabilité de santé du patient vulnérable."

Régulièrement mise en lumière dans les politiques publiques, la question des inégalités de santé et celle de l'implication du corps médical à ce sujet constituent un enjeu politique majeur dans la prise charge des publics défavorisés. Pour en comprendre les raisons, cet ouvrage propose une étude sociologique centrée sur les interactions entre le médecin généraliste et ses patients en situation de précarité, afin de comprendre comment certaines pratiques et postures professionnelles peuvent contribuer à réduire ou à renforcer les inégalités sociales et territoriales de santé (organisation spatiale du cabinet, personnalité sociale du médecin, refus de soins discriminatoires...).A l'appui d'une analyse socio-ethnographique de près de 700 consultations effectuées auprès de 8 cabinets médicaux, ce livre apporte un éclairage inédit sur le rôle et les conditions d'exercice des médecins généralistes dans la prise en charge des publics précaires, et les mesures novatrices à mettre en place pour réduire les inégalités de santé (qualité de la relation patient-médecin, implication du médecin dans les dimensions médico-sociales, organisation de la salle d'attente...).
