A collective approach to meaningful education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are youth, school- and community-based educators, and Clark academics and students who are actively engaging each other and our worlds through research. Only by cultivating a research collective that brings together diverse perspectives, experiences, and methods will we be able to create the types of practices, knowledge-in-action, and deep human relationships needed for more equitable and meaningful education.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
