  In Roundtable Session: Struggles for Social Justice in Higher Education

Abstract

While on the path to the professoriate, doctoral students must strengthen their skills in developing transformative, counter-hegemonic, and democratic learning environments and model these skills to pre-service teachers. The objective of this paper is to present data on the professional and personal experiences of graduate students who are teacher educators in courses related to social justice education and the existing institutional support systems in place for socializing graduate students interested in a faculty career.
