Activating activism within the EdD: Connecting DiP Research and the community

Abstract

In this paper the co-authors discuss and describe the challenges of community engaged scholarship. Using an ongoing long-term project about the school prison nexus as an exemplar, the authors propose ways that Ed.D. student DiP’s can be connected with the community. Lessons learned and implications for other Ed.D. programs are shared.
