From the Office of Research and Graduate Education: Everett receives Spencer Foundation Conference Grant
Justice as Praxis in Education Conference
- PI: Sakeena Everett, assistant professor, language and literacy education
- Sponsor: Spencer Foundation Conference Grant
- Amount: $49,872
In both theory and practice, social in-justices limit human learning and thriving. Black, indigenous, and Latinx youth have inequitable access to rigorous coursework, which diminishes their ability to compete for admission to elite colleges and universities. The proposed conference will convene expert justice-oriented university researchers, K-12 practitioners, K-university students, and parents around the goals of theorizing justice imperatives, promoting pedagogical justice as praxis projects, and doing methodological justice.
