The RootEd Collective
Our Vision
The RootEd Collective believes that education should be deeply connected to community, justice, and transformative change. Our research interrogates the systems, policies, and practices that shape K-12 and higher education. Our work centers the resilience and brilliance of historically marginalized communities. We challenge inequitable structures and reimagine education as a space for liberation, opportunity, and belonging.
The RootEd Collective is made up of scholars, educators, and professionals committed to cultivating knowledge that grows from and for the communities we serve. Our work is nourished by the wisdom of our participants, the strength of collective action, and the urgency of the present moment. We seek to plant new possibilities, strengthening the foundations of education for future generations.

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sounds like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.
