Visiting Scholars
Through the Visiting Scholars Program, the Gordon Institute engages scholars who bring visionary, justice-oriented perspectives that challenge traditional paradigms and push the boundaries of educational research and practice. Their work has a significant impact on our community as it fosters critical dialogue, advances innovative approaches to equity-focused research, and deepens interdisciplinary collaborations. By integrating transformative scholarship into its core, we affirm our commitment to decolonial knowledge, culturally responsive pedagogy, and cutting-edge inquiry that shapes the future of education and society at large.
