About Social Justice Education PhD
The Social Justice Education Doctoral program prepares educators, counselors, and school leaders to study, interrogate, and further theorize conceptual, empirical, and applied knowledge in social justice education. Our students are applied scholars, integrating research with practice. They generate knowledge about social justice educational theory and practice and apply this to the design, delivery, and evaluation of effective social justice educational practices in a variety of educational settings. Applicants should have a master’s degree related to social justice education and professional experience in related areas of teaching, counseling, youth development, civic engagement, social work, teacher education, education administration, student affairs, special education, and college residential programs.
