Podcasting and 21CSLA
21CSLA State Center and Berkeley School of Education Leadership Programs launched the podcast Equity Leadership Now! In Episode 1, “Harmonizing a New Pulse of Leadership,” Professor Jabari Mahiri is interviewed by Professor Robyn Ilten-Gee.
Ilten-Gee researches how digital media production (e.g. podcasting and multimedia journalism) in classroom settings facilitates a process of students rethinking and revising conclusions and judgments about the world and themselves, and published the book Moral Education for Social Justice, with insights on cultivating critical digital pedagogy and the Four Phases of Critical Podcast Production:
- Critical questioning
- Critical connections
- Critical construction
- Critical conclusion
Equity Leadership Now! hosts conversations with equity-conscious leaders from PreK through university settings who transform structures and strategies for educating, particularly for those who are marginalized. We explore their innovative ideas and compelling work to realize individual, social, and environmental justice at the intersection of research, policy, and practice—because our democracy depends on it.
