How can urban education incite, produce, uplift, and extend experiences of healing, love, or community?

Produced by the Urban Education program at the City University of New York’s Graduate Center, Theory, Research, and Action in Urban Education (TRAUE) centers Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, social justice practices, and anti-oppressive pedagogies.

We use the term “urban” colloquially—not just as a city, but as a site of crisis and creation, beauty and pain, trauma and healing. We are a journal about learning that happens within and beyond schools.

Amid ongoing occupation and genocide, this special issue seeks to trouble our understanding of education in local and global struggles for liberation.
