Surveying the Landscape of Research on School-University Partnerships

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

We have been called to imagine new ways of thinking about and engaging in educational processes that will both dismantle racial injustice and construct new ways of learning. One way to construct such educational possibilities is to focus our work on structures, like educational partnerships, that are rooted in equity and responsiveness. Because of the potential of educational partnerships to serve as exemplars of equity-focused systems of education, the objective of the proposed symposium is to survey the current landscape of scholarship in school-university partnerships (SUPs). The body of work used in this endeavor will be the chapters and commentaries from the forthcoming Cambridge Handbook of School-University Partnerships.
