Organizing leadership education and learning for liberation

Abstract

This article offers key considerations regarding how leadership educators can alter their relations with institutions and campus community members (e.g., students, faculty, staff) to align with and advance liberatory struggles. The article also explores the drawbacks and contradictions of institutionalizing liberation within leadership learning and education spaces in colleges and universities. The author underscores the significance and immediacy of establishing spaces and advancing discourse outside the contours of institutional higher education where individuals, in collaboration and solidarity, can rehearse, plan, organize, and study the path toward collective liberation and the creation of an otherwise world that has yet to exist.
