Activist Stance in an Uncertain Educational Future: Foreground Personal, Develop Sense of Place, Build Context

Session Type: Working Group Roundtable

Abstract

We work to provide space for educators different in many ways. We explore key questions: What research methodologies, and what forms of analysis help us foreground the personal, place and context? How do findings help us build educational institutions dealing with the challenges in our societies, our world? We are taking a global approach to listen, engage in inquiry, research a conception of responsiveness by drawing on each presenters’ efforts and the impactful works by experts on war and refugees; climate crisis; cultural diversity; technology; health; environment; and democracy. We share research and methodologies about education, about students, about policy making and other aspects of a broadly defined educational leadership for the untenable now and an uncertain educational future.
