Social Justice Group

The ISLDN social justice strand is a collaborative research team representing 20 countries throughout the world.  In addition to meeting at UCEA and AERA, the group convenes once a year to share findings and discuss the unfolding of the project.  The spring 2014 meeting was held in Atlanta, Georgia, US; the spring 2015 meeting was held in Gosport, England, UK; and the spring 2016 meeting will be held in Hamilton and Dunedin, New Zealand.  Visiting schools and meeting with principals in the hosting country has become a hallmark of the meetings.

This project is always a work in progress.  The methodology is being developed by participants as the project progresses.  The defining feature of the group is a network of researchers, guided by the same research questions, adopting a common methodological approach, and undertaking work in a diverse range of international contexts.
The overarching questions adopted by the research team are simple.
  • What is social justice leadership and what does it look like in myriad international macro, meso, and micro contexts?
  • How can our international and comparative methodology enhance our understanding of what social justice leadership means in different national contexts?

Within the parameters of these questions, a set of four research questions have been formulated.
  • How do social justice leaders make sense of ‘social justice’?
  • What do social justice leaders do?
  • What factors help and hinder the work of social justice leadership?
  • How did social justice leaders learn to become social justice leaders?
