Dr. Ann M. Ishimaru is an award-winning scholar, writer, educator and the Killinger Endowed Chair and Professor of Educational Foundations, Leadership and Policy at the University of Washington College of Education. Her latest book is Doing the Work of Equity Leadership for Justice and Systems Change, it was published this September by Teachers College Press. This collection of research and writing that she contributed to as both an author and co-editor is created with Dr. Decoteau Irby, and it takes a deep examination of DEI initiatives and the process of change in schools. Several of the writers are the ones doing the work in these schools. We love how she works toward understanding systemic change to increase student inclusion and belonging. In addition to many peer-reviewed articles in top-tier educational educational research journals, Ann is also the author of Just Schools: Building Equitable Collaborations with Families and Communities (Teachers College Press, 2020). Additionally, Dr. Ishimaru directs the Just Educational Leadership Institute, which hosts the annual Leading towards Justice Symposium as well as numerous research partnerships.&nbsp; To learn more about Professor Ishimaru’s work, you can visit her website&nbsp;annishimaru.com, her instagram @annmishimaru, and purchase Doing the Work of Equity Leadership for Justice and Systems Change.&nbsp; If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.
