Mapping Leadership for Social Justice: Innovations, Applications, and Syntheses

Mon, April 16, 12:25 to 1:55pm, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Second Floor, Regent Parlor

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The premise here is that within-school equity programs do not rise to the level of leadership for social justice unless and until they also address root causes of why societies continue to oppress peoples based on race, class, sexual orientations, and gender. Typical research responses call for more rigorous, relevant and critical research designs and methods, more progressive policies such as inclusion, and advocacy and activism. While these three fronts are vitally important, leadership for social justice, following John Dewey , calls for organizing principles grounded in sustainable experiences (e.g., growth and relationships) and everyday activities (e.g., democracy) that build towards a systematic approach or a conceptual mapping based on the possibilities for educational theories of social justice.
