Meet the Collective

Our 研究 collective was formed in 2018 when we instantly connected over our shared experiences on education, 研究, 和正义. Since then, we have been 研究ing teachers and dreaming radically about what schools can be. As former or current teachers ourselves, we firmly believe in critical participatory action 研究 (CPAR). All of us have deep knowledge about the ways we, and many in our communities, have struggled against oppression, 种族歧视, and dehumanization. Our knowledge is rooted in intergenerational legacies, resistance, and transnational migration. Our national survey is an extension of our work, and we are excited to share this part of our journey.
