The Center for Faculty Educators will host Equity and Justice in Education (EJE), pronounced (“edge”) Works-in-Progress meetings which empower educators, educational researchers, and learners to utilize rigorous educational research methodology to identify bias and unequal power distribution to advance equitable and inclusive solutions in opportunity and achievement across the continuum of health sciences education.
The aims of the EJE are to:
- Promote, support, and guide educational scholarship on equity, justice, diversity, and inclusion in health sciences education
- Question ongoing educational practices to investigate implicit and explicit inequities along the continuum of health sciences education
- Translate outcomes from research into solutions for equity in education practice
- Create a tight-knit community of education equity scholars who learn from, provide ongoing feedback to, and work with one another to generate quality educational research
- Ultimately, produce research leaders committed to advancing scholarship and science in the education equity and justice
