District Equity Leaders Navigating Differing Political Geographies: A Critical Discussion

Sat, April 26, 11:40am to 1:10pm MDT (11:40am to 1:10pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 404

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Equity leadership positions have increased in U.S. schools and districts, but more research is needed on how equity leaders approach their roles in their respective schools and districts, which are often highly politicized contexts. During this symposium, equity directors and scholars of equity leadership will engage in a critical discussion to explore how local political contexts mediate equity leadership approaches with equity directors positioned as critical knowledge producers. The researchers will frame the conversation and explore key themes of the session papers in dialogue with the equity directors. The equity directors’ insights as practitioners combined with the researchers’ contributions will enable equity leadership roles to be considered in a more nuanced and contextualized way.
