This annual series brings national authors and scholars into conversation with local leaders and students to discuss leading towards racial equity and justice in education. The series — organized as three two-part engagements during the 2023 academic year — is designed to open conversations about the research and practice needed to catalyze change in the education field and on the ground. Each webinar will be followed by a discussion co-facilitated by local leaders and graduates of our leadership programs.
The Leading Towards Justice series is free, takes place online, and is open to all educators and leaders. Register now to receive the webinar link and updates on the whole series.
The Leading Towards Justice Series is hosted by the College of Education’s Danforth Leadership Program, Leadership for Learning Program, & the Educational Foundations, Leadership and Policy area with support from the Corbally Fund and Just Ed Leadership Institute.
