{"product_id":"collectives-and-the-commons","title":"Collectives and the Commons","description":"In today's troubling times, we frequently find ourselves in conversations with educational scholars, educators, and university students about feeling overwhelmed with the attacks on and challenges facing education, and unsure of how to act in this moment. What does it mean to leverage scholarship for public impact? What impact on public debate, awareness, or policy can collective action as large groups of scholars and leaders make that more traditional scholarship cannot or simply does not aspire to make? That is, when scholars and leaders speak in a collective and public-facing way, what interventions can we make in movement building for public education and for the public commons more broadly? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCollectives and the Commons: The Role of Educational Scholars in Movement Building for Justice\u003c\/i\u003e grapples with such questions by diving into the years-long journeys of four scholar collectives working toward justice in and through education. Each emerged in different times, places, and circumstances, but in recent years have connected under a \"collective of collectives\" umbrella that allowed them to share resources and support one another in their work: CReATE (Chicagoland Researchers and Advocates for Transformative Education), CARE-ED (California Alliance of Researchers for Equity in Education), HSESJD (Hawai'i Scholars for Education, Social Justice and Diversity), and EDJE (Education Deans for Justice and Equity). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The result of this effort is this volume, which serves as a resource for scholars who are interested in working collectively for movement building and advocacy. With that goal in mind, each chapter consists of two key components: a narrative essay (how the collective formed, how they were organized and operated, their theory of change, the initiatives they undertook, how they pushed scholarship into the public space, challenges faced, and lessons learned or take-aways for others interested in educational advocacy) and a range of selected artifacts (research briefs and fact sheets; statements, petitions, testimonies; media and art work; and public events and symposiums). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCollectives and the Commons \u003c\/i\u003eis needed today more than ever. The current assault on education is an assault on teachers and students, and on the welfare of everyone. This book should be read by every scholar interested in seeing social justice applied to schools, classrooms and students. It can also be adopted in a variety of courses in Colleges of Education. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePerfect for courses such as:\u003c\/b\u003e Introduction to Education, Educational Equity, Educational Leadership, Educational Policy, Foundations of Education, Multicultural Education, Race and Education, Research Methods, Social Justice and Education, Teacher Education","brand":"Myers Education Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56672951239000,"sku":"9781975509378","price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781975509378.jpg?v=1780440324","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/collectives-and-the-commons","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
