A Multi-Modal Interrogation of Collaborative Research for Justice

Published by Celina Su on March 9, 2019March 9, 2019

This month’s special issue of Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA) was curated by URBAN, and edited by Ronald David Glass and Mark R. Warren. The issue, Collaborative Research for Justice and Multi-Issue Movement Building: Challenging Discriminatory Policing, School Closures, and Youth Unemployment, is a product of the first national URBAN conference. It reflects the network’s commitment to research for justice that combines rigorous scholarship with the arts to engage both the head and heart so as to deepen and express our social justice values in our scholarship. The powerful cases and provocative essays in the issue are integrated with videos and graphics that bring additional depth and nuance to the topics, and that challenge the hegemony of linear academic prose as the only way to engage with scholarly knowledge.

Below are the six graphics from the issue. These graphics were created live during the national conference as a way of visually documenting the rich and complex conversations. The graphics were created by Paul Kuttner, co-chair of the new Utah node of URBAN.
