  In Roundtable Session: 34.079-15 - Issues of Leadership in Family, School, and Community Collaborations

Abstract

This proposal details an approach to community engagement and change through generating spaces for community and educational leaders. This session introduces a dynamic methodology that invokes P-12 and higher education leadership to re-envision the complex settings of urban environments to create spaces of participatory action-based research. The intent of this critical conversation is to reclaim public spaces through community inquiry. New partnerships, research methods, and pedagogies contextualize practice and introduce viable and sustainable partnerships
