Message from the Chair
By: Kristi Lonardo Clemens - Chair, CSJE
Happy Summer, CSJE!
I hope you all are doing well. As we all know, the summer is a great time for us to take some much needed relaxation time at work, but it’s also a busy preparation time. That’s no different for the Commission for Social Justice Educators, as we have been busy putting new structures and programs into place for this academic year!
First, let me update you on Convention 2009. Our time in Metro DC was busy, but well spent. As we enter our fifth year as a commission, we took some time at convention to think about our structure and how we could be most effective in serving you as an ACPA member. We decided on a modified Vice Chair structure, with responsibilities that are more congruent with ACPA’s strategic priorities. In this new structure, which will be available on our website soon, we have added a focus on programming outside of convention, publications and scholarship.
Related to that restructuring, we have committed to focus on core competencies justice work. The research of Lisa Landreman, (current Vice Chair for Scholarship) Keith Edwards, (Past CSJE Chair and Founder), and their colleagues have presented in About Campus. Our newsletter will explore their framework. We hope that through their scholarship we can dig a little deeper and work towards improving our practice. Please see Lisa’s article shown below for more!
Finally, I’d like to welcome the newest Directorate Body class that was elected shortly following Convention! We are certain they will make a great addition to our team. Are you interested in being more involved in CSJE? Join our list-serv and explore our website for more information about the exciting opportunities in CSJE!
Best,
Kristi Lonardo Clemens
