The Next Movement: Graduate Students’ Cultivation of Research to Address Social Justice Issues in Education

Sun, April 27, 11:40am to 1:10pm MDT (11:40am to 1:10pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 302

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The panel will focus on how we, as researchers, mentor graduate students whose research is driven by justice issues within their communities. Many researchers are eager to approach their work through a social justice lens but often struggle with conceptualizing the injustices they observe and developing research that advocates for meaningful change. Our session will highlight various social justice-focused projects, with an emphasis on how to transform community challenges into impactful research studies that promote equity and avoid stigmatizing the communities involved. By the end of this presentation, audience members—especially graduate students—will gain a clearer understanding of how to address specific challenges in their communities through research.
