Abstract
In this session, we consider frameworks and research designs for working toward more just and humanizing educational environments. Through the papers in this session, with engage with calls for reimagining institutions of learning through a lens of care and centering teaching and learning around human experience. Papers in this session explore how caring, compassionate, and humanizing work can move beyond individual actions to become coordinated and organized at organizational and systemic levels. Each paper presents different theoretical, methodological, and practice-level perspectives toward understanding efforts to bring about more caring school systems.
