Beschreibung
“This book is sustenance for scholars, practitioners, and activists committed to community-driven research and working towards more just educational worlds.”
—Django Paris, Professor and Director of the Banks Center for Educational Justice, University of Washington, USA
“This valuable collection of chapters from Indigenous and marginalized community researchers contributes to compelling scholarly inquiries invested in confronting racism, oppression, and divisive educational issues. It urges us to listen and learn from critical inquiries and counter-narratives that disrupt injustices to enhance human dignity.”
—Marie Battiste, author of Decolonizing Education: Nourishing the Learning Spirit
“Research as Activism in Education gifts us a clear and nuanced vision for what educational research could be: unabashedly transformative, deeply collaborative, and utterly reimagined. But more than the content, the book’s form which pushes concerns often stashed on the margins of even the most revolutionary educational discourse into the center, is itself an activist expression.”
—Paul Gorski, Founder of the Equity Literacy Institute and author of Reaching and Teaching Students in Poverty: Strategies for Erasing the Opportunity Gap
Research as Activism in Education combines academic research with activism and examines how they can supplement each other as tools for societal transformation, particularly within educational contexts. It aims to reshape how research is theorized, conducted, and utilized within educational settings, emphasizing the importance of doing research with communities rather than on communities, with the objective of fostering collaborative and inclusive approaches that lead to meaningful change in reforming practices and policies. By providing concrete examples and case studies of how research can challenge systemic inequities and injustices through purposeful activism, the book serves as a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, practitioners, and researchers committed to social justice at all levels.
