Abstract

The study investigates the intersectional praxis of educational leadership for social justice and the experiences of learning disadvantaged students, focusing on actions against multiple prejudices. Using qualitative case study methodology, interviews were conducted with one principal and five teacher leaders from subject areas addressing challenges faced by learning disadvantaged students in three municipalities in northern Taiwan. A total of three principals and 15 teacher leaders from urban junior high schools participated. Findings suggest that discussing educational leadership for social justice from a student perspective fosters intersectional praxis convergence.
