Research, Remedy, and Repair: Toward Just Education Renewal: Thoughts From an Educational Leadership Perspective on the UK’s Colonial Legacy

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This Symposium outlines the current position on educational leadership and colonial legacy from a range of international scholars, including early career researchers, that relate to the UK and Europe in 2025.
It will analyze how different nations have different post-colonial perspectives from each other, but also the practices and current directions that they are moving in.
Some countries now have very different priorities to others, and the antecedents of this position will also be explored and contextualized.
