Welcome!
We believe that to transform inequitable schooling systems, we must first imagine a better reality.
Inspired by concepts of freedom dreaming within the work of Robin D. G. Kelley and the abolitionist scholarship of Bettina L. Love, the Freedom Dreaming for Educational Justice project explores the possibilities of designing new educational futures through the arts.
This public engagement research project brings together K-12 educators, UAlbany students, authors, artists, faculty, K-12 students, and the broader community to create education freedom dreams to be exhibited in online and public spaces.
