Overview

Conceptual analysis demonstrates the integration of educational change and anti-racist frameworks across learning environments, highlighting actionable pathways for scalable social justice.

Key Points

  • To articulate how bridging educational change scholarship with anti-racist, decolonizing, and social justice frameworks can transform inequitable educational institutions.
  • Examined two illustrative change initiatives operating across different learning environments and initiated at distinct entry points.
  • Synthesized shared commitments and cross-subfield strategies across educational change, anti-racism, and social justice literatures.
  • Demonstrated that cross-disciplinary synthesis provides actionable, scalable pathways to challenge systemic racism and colonial structures in educational organizations.
  • Identified community accountability and attention to intersectional identities as vital prerequisites for sustainable, equity-centered systemic transformation.
