Summary
In a world increasingly characterized by polarization and division, the need for meaningful dialogue and empathetic engagement is more urgent than ever. This compelling collection of essays, selected from doctoral students of the 2024 Winona State University’s Education Doctoral Program Residency, explores how education can respond to these challenges. The authors critically assess the current state of public discourse and propose ways that schools can serve as spaces for constructive, civil engagement. They examine the broader responsibilities of educators in bridging divides, fostering a culture of empathy, and listening. Through their reflections, these aspiring scholars encourage us to reconsider the role that schools, teachers, and educational leaders play in shaping an inclusive, connected, and humanizing future.
The 2024 Education Doctoral Program Residency book was edited by Rebecca R. Simataa and Steve M. Baule.
