Contribuições de Sharon Gewirtz para uma Análise das Políticas Educacionais baseada na Justiça Social

gerenciais. Abstract The article presents Sharon Gewirtz's analysis of the English Third Way educational policies grounded on a social justice framework that she built in dialogue with Nancy Fraser´s and Iris Young´s works. Nine works produced by the English author over a decade, between 1995 and 2006, were systematized into four parts: the first places Sharon Gewirtz in the critical field of public policies analysis; the second exposes the social justice framework based on the two North American authors; the third presents the English Third Way educational policies; the fourth demonstrates how the social justice framework chosen by Gewirtz is capable of sustaining a critical and integrated analysis of the characteristics, subjects and consequences of managerial reforms. Finally, it exposes some critical studies on these reforms in the Brazilian context and advocates the use of the concept of social justice as an ethical parameter for the analysis of Brazilian educational policies.
