Open Pedagogy as Ethical Leadership Praxis

In a polarized world, education on leadership ethics and civil discourse is essential. In Fall 2024, educators and student leaders co-created a graduate course and co-authored Ethical Educational Leadership: Untangling Ethical Dilemmas and Imagining Alternative Futures using open pedagogy. Graduate students contributed chapters, ensuring their work had lasting value. Open pedagogy empowers students as knowledge creators and supports representational justice. The course culminated in a roundtable symposium where students led discussions with faculty and administrators. In this presentation, the professor and two graduate student leaders share their co-creation process and the open textbook.
