30.080-19 - We Are Clearly Not Asking the Right Questions: Rethinking "Knowledge to Action" as Social Justice

• In Event: 30.080 - Roundtable Session 10

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Are educational leadership scholars and practitioners asking the right questions? In this symposium panel discussion, we begin by say "no" in response to four open-ended prompts designed to engage the LSJ audience in a critical dialogue. The session opens with an overall justification for our skeptical position and then continues with a renewed and relentless critique of ourselves, what we study and how we conduct social justice research.
