Shifting the Mindset: Socially Just Leadership Education

Derrick Pacheco

Brittany Devies

Social justice and leadership education are inextricably linked. In order to continue working towards a more socially just world, we need to develop leaders with knowledge, skills, and values to engage effectively in the leadership process. As we continue to change the narrative about socially just leadership education, we need to continue the conversation with focusing on shifting the mindset of how we create and provide leadership learning opportunities. In this panel, chapter authors of Shifting the Mindset: Socially Just Leadership Education (in press; publication 2021) will discuss concepts and engage in conversations around socially just leadership in different communities and for those who hold intersecting identities.
