Our faculty conduct cross-disciplinary research to examine schooling's purposes, constraints, and opportunities. Key social factors like race, class, and gender influence how schools and other educational environments - both structured and unstructured - are designed. Faculty members investigate how language and literacy can drive societal transformation, always considering their power to foster equity and justice. We study education's capacity to strengthen democracy amid challenges like social disparities, economic shifts, and evolving national dynamics. This encompasses student and teacher activism, teaching methods in social justice movements, systemic racism and colonialism in education, curriculum content choices, disciplinary or financial policies, and unequal learning environments and results. These priorities have shaped our cluster's focus areas.
